Follow these steps to upgrade to a 4.14.0.0 Director on Rocky Linux 8 while preserving your data and settings. For an existing Director virtual appliance, on version 4.13 or earlier:
vsetnet
vsetnet
doesn't correctly apply the static IP to the Director. As a workaround, after running vsetnet
, run the following:
nmcli con show
You'll see output that looks like the following:
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE Wired connection 1 UUID_VALUE ethernet enp1s0
Take note of the name NAME
and DEVICE
values in the preceding command output (in this case, Wired connection 1
and enp1s0
) and then run the following commands, whereDIRECTOR_STATIC_IP_VALUE, GATEWAY_IP_VALUE, and DNS_SERVER_VALUE are the network values that you obtained from Step 1:
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses DIRECTOR_STATIC_IP_VALUE ipv4.gateway GATEWAY_IP_VALUE ipv4.dns DNS_SERVER_VALUE
nmcli device reapply enp1s0
As long as you have the netmask, such as /24
, at the end of the IP Address, the IP address should update properly and be maintained across reboots.
vrestart
One thing to note, is if you reboot the system and the interface reverts to DHCP (or you can't connect an actor when re-attaching PUSH actors), do the following steps:
