Foreman upgarde 1.8 to 1.9 - roll back and

Support
1

Hi

I am running foreman 1.8 and would like to upgrade to foreman 1.9, OS
Version: RHEL 6.6 (Santiago), puppet version: 3.8, postgres 8.4.20

The update process is,

  1. stop apache
  2. yum upgrade foreman
  3. foreman-rake db:migrate
  4. foreman-rake db:seed
  5. foreman-rake tmp:cache:clear
  6. foreman-rake tmp:sessions:clear
  7. start apache again

I have the following questions

  1. How do I roll back an upgrade process?
  2. Should I upgrade the db also?
  3. Which command do I use to check the foreman version
  4. Any common issues associated with upgrade of foreman

TIA

You can't, schema changes are made to the DB as part of the upgrade.
Take backups, as per our docs [1]

Do you mean the version of PostgreSQL / MySQL or the schema of the
Foreman database? For versions, that's up to you, but I'd always
encourage keeping up-to-date. The Foreman DB will be updated as part of
the Foreman version upgrade.

Your package manager will report it (rpm -qa |grep foreman) or you can
check the About page in the UI.

1.8 to 1.19 should be fine, but note these versions are well over 3
years old now - 1.15 is the current version. You may want to make plans
to upgrade further.
