Upgrading IBM Data Server Manager (DSM)

As the final step in an IOP to HDP Big SQL migration, you must upgrade the IBM DSM.

Before you begin

If you are performing this step as part of a migration, you must follow all the preceding steps described in Migrating from IOP to HDP.
Note: Data Server Manager requires Knox to be installed, configured, and started. For more information, see Enabling Knox for DSM.

About this task

This topic describes how to upgrade your version of DSM.

Procedure

  1. In the Ambari UI, re-install DSM on the cluster.
    Two important notes while re-installing DSM:
    • Ignore the "Before you begin" portion of the DSM installation topic
    • Click OK when asked if Ambari can install TEZ
  2. Restore the backup copy of the default_rep_db directory to /usr/ibmpacks/IBM-DSM/2.1.3.0/ibm-datasrvrmgr/Config.
  3. Restore the backup copy of privileges.json (if the file exists) to /usr/ibmpacks/IBM-DSM/2.1.3.0/ibm-datasrvrmgr/Config.
  4. Ensure the ownership on the restored file privileges.json, the restored directory default_rep_db, and all of its contents match the rest of the files under the directory /usr/ibmpacks/IBM-DSM/2.1.3.0/ibm-datasrvrmgr/Config.
  5. To enable the DSM Quicklink with Knox: 
    /usr/ibmpacks/bin/5.0.2.0/knox_setup.sh -u <AMBARI_ADMIN_USERNAME> -p <AMBARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD>
  6. In Ambari, restart DSM by selecting DSM in the list of services and then selecting Service Actions > Restart All.
  7. If Knox is not configured for LDAP:
    • Make sure to start the Demo LDAP server in Knox
    • You can then log in the DSM quicklink using the default user/password guest/guest-password
