Trying to work through building our first cluster. I really do not have any data that is that "important", but due to labor time to build it to this stage, am a bit hesitant to fire off a mass upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3. Just want a pulse from the community if anyone has done this yet?
Question:
1) Has anyone done an rpm -Uvh splunk-6.3.0-aa7d4b1ccb80-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm
" on a cluster (SH cluster, indexer cluster, deployment server, cluster master)?
2) I know there are more robust tools of automation for larger Splunk deployments (CHEF, PUPPET, etc..) but as the total cluster I have is only 12VMs, a p-shell update would just about be as easy if their are no "gotcha's!!" with the update.
Looking for recommendations.
Hi JeremeyWise,
First of all, before upgrading any of your machines you will want to take a backup of the configuration, i.e.
tar czvf ~/splunk_backup.tgz /opt/splunk/etc/
So as the the order of upgrades, this should work:
Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any other questions 😄

Upgrade went fine. RPM upgrade went without any error or note.
Kind of caught in that you had to re-run the ULA accept for it to complete the upgrade... by restarting splunk. This is apparently when it runs the actual upgrade to the data.
