Platform Updates

To upgrade an existing Platform Server:

1. Download the Swarm bundle ZIP from the Downloads section on the DataCore Support Portal and locate the Platform folder within it.

2. Transfer the ZIP file containing the new version of the Platform server.

3. Unzip the file and cd into the new directory.

4. Run the following command:

   sudo ./upgradeplatform.sh

   Note

   When upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1, the Platform server downloads about 400MB in updates from the Internet. As such, the total upgrade time varies depending on bandwidth.

After updating Platform to a newer version, update the components that you use with it as needed:

1. Swarm Storage (upload the storage ZIP from the bundle) — see Upgrading Swarm Storage in Platform Administration.

2. Swarm UI, depending on your implementation: 

   • Service Proxy (includes Swarm UI in its ZIP) — see Managing Service Proxy in Platform Administration.

   • Standalone Content Gateway that hosts Swarm UI — see the Implementing Content Gateway section in the Release Notes and Upgrading the Storage UI in Swarm Storage UI Installation.
