Ambari Upgrade

Ambari can be upgraded independently from ODP stack.

Prepare Ambari Upgrade

Be sure to review the Ambari 2.7.11.0 release notes for Known Issues and Behavioral Changes.
It’s necessary to possess root, administrative, or equivalent privileges on the host of the Ambari Server and all Ambari Agent hosts within the cluster.
It’s essential to create a backup of the Ambari Server database. You can use tool like pgdump or mysqldump.
You’re required to safely duplicate the Ambari Server configuration file located at /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties.

note

If you have made any modification to /var/lib/ambari-server/ambari-env.sh file (like for example modifying the heapsize), you will need to restore because during Ambari upgrade process, the existing /var/lib/ambari-server/ambari-env.sh file is overwritten. A backup copy of ambari-env.sh (with extension .rpmsave) is created.
