Summary

As of October 15th, the installer for an ABI4 application does not allow to upgrade from ABI1 products. However, there are some ways to get around this, here is one.

Upgrading process

In short

After installing NMIS9, move aside the omk directory and install the new ABI4 application. Once the installation has finished rename the new omk/conf folder and copy over the old omk/conf folder. Convert the .nmis files in omk/conf/ directory into .json using the opcommon-cli tool. Edit the new omk/conf/opCommon.json file replacing any "nmis_dir" and "nmis8" entries for "nmis9_dir" and "nmis9". Lastly ensure the "load_applications" entry in this file shows only the ABI4 application previously installed and restart the omk daemon.

In detail

  1. Install NMIS9, should install without any issues
  2. Rename the omk directory
    mv /usr/local/omk /usr/local/omk-old
  3. Run the installer for the ABI4 application
  4. Rename the new omk/conf directory
    mv /usr/local/omk/conf /usr/local/omk/conf-original
  5. Copy the omk-old/conf directory into the new omk/
    cp -r /usr/local/omk-old/conf /usr/local/omk
  6. Convert the .nmis files in omk/conf/ directory into .json using the opcommon-cli tool
    /usr/local/omk/bin/opcommon-cli.exe act=convert_json_dir dir="/usr/local/omk/conf/"
  7. Change any "nmis_dir" and "nmis8" entires to "nmis9_dir" and "nmis9" in the omk/conf/opCommon.json file. You can do this manually or by using the following Perl regex
    perl -p -i -e 's/nmis_dir/nmis9_dir/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json
perl -p -i -e 's/nmis8/nmis9/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json
perl -p -i -e 's/nmis_logs/nmis9_logs/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json
  8. Change the "load_applications" entry in the opCommon.json file to only show the ABI4 application recently installed. You can do this manually or by running the required patch_config commands to delete each application from the "load_applications" entry, except for the one that was recently installed.
    # E.g.: Previously installed applications: opConfig, opCharts, opEvents, opHA, opReports and Open-AudIT
#		Recently installed application: opConfig

/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications-=opCharts
/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications-=Events
/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications-=opHA
/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications-=opReports
/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications-=Open-AudIT

# If the recently installed application (eg.: opConfig) is deleted by mistake, you can add it back by running the follow patch_command
/usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.pl /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /omkd/load_applications[0]=opConfig
  9. Restart omkd
    systemctl restart omkd.service
