- Virtual machine running 23.04 60K profile
Prior installation data and configuration information is retained during the upgrade process.
Pre-Upgrade Requirements and Procedures
This section describes the requirements and procedures that must be followed before performing an upgrade.
The following sections cover the procedures for upgrading a KVM, or VMware machine running Skylight orchestrator 22.07, Skylight orchestrator 22.10 or Skylight orchestrator 23.04. During the upgrade, the system will be unavailable for approximately 90 minutes.
Before performing the upgrade procedures, you must read through the Release Notes for Skylight orchestrator 23.04.1.
If you are running in a redundant configuration, please run this procedure for each site of the redundant system.
IMPORTANT: You cannot upgrade hardware appliances to version 23.04.1 as they have been retired.
IMPORTANT: Skylight orchestrator will no longer support rehoming directly from the hardware or the virtual machine running in ESXi release prior to 6.5.
WARNING: If you are using Skylight Performance Analytics, the Roadrunner component must be upgraded to the latest release before upgrading to Skylight orchestrator 23.04.1. Please contact the Skylight Analytics support team to verify that your Roadrunner version is compatible with Skylight orchestrator 23.04.1.
Requirements
You must ensure you have the following items before starting the upgrade procedure. If you are missing anything, contact Accedian Technical Support.
- SSH client (such as PuTTY)
- SCP client (such as WinSCP)
- Username and password for the visionems account for all virtual machines running Skylight orchestrator software.
- The target machine must have 20 GiB of free space in its mysql partition.
- The target machine must have 6 GiB of free space in its root partition.
- The target machine must have 9.5 GiB of free space in its data partition.
- To upgrade to version 23.04.1, you must have access to the following package files:
upgradeAppliance-SO_v23.04_1_package-prod.tar SO_v23.04_1.fsa
Note: These files contain all required files and scripts for the upgrade. - Check and ensure the current deployment profile matches with resource requirements (vCPU, RAM, disk). Please refer to the Deployment Profile Configuration and Virtual Machine Disk Configuration articles for additional information.
- Check number of acceptable firmware loads, as outlined below:
Number of Acceptable Firmware Loads
Before upgrading or starting app_server on Skylight orchestrator, you must validate the number of acceptable firmware loads based on the specific profile of the system.
For example, if orchestrator is using a root partition of 28GB, it will switch to root partition 18GB after upgrading. In this case, you need to check that the number of firmware loads on the orchestrator, before upgrading, is not higher than the limitations shown below.
Note: When the requirements from the table below are met, the upgrade can be performed and the system will restart. After the system restarts, the partition can be checked. The partition must have at least 1 GB of free space remaining.
Skylight orchestrator Profile | Acceptable Firmware Loads |
---|---|
60K profile system | 2 sensor: control or 10 performance element loads |
30K profile system | 4 sensor: control or 20 performance element loads |
15K profile system | 8 sensor: control or 40 performance element loads |

This section explains the procedures that must be performed before upgrading to version 23.04.1.
The pre-upgrade procedures are:
- Ensuring the FTP export method is not used on Inventory Export and CSV Export
- Backing up the Data Store
- Stopping the Application
- Transferring Files to the Machine
Ensuring the FTP export method is not used on Inventory Export and CSV Export
From release 23.04.1, the FTP transfer method is not supported for Skylight orchestrator functions (inventory export and CSV export). Therefore, changing to another transfer method is required to ensure no corruption of the transfer file after upgrading.
The FTP transfer method MUST be changed to another supported transfer method (SFTP or Rsync) before upgrading if it is being used on any Skylight orchestrator functionality:
- In the inventory export method:
a. Change to the SFTP method and ensure that it works correctly.
b. Please refer to Exporting Inventory Reports for more information. - In the CSV export method:
a. Change to SFTP or SFTP/Key or Rsync method and ensure it works correctly.
b. Please refer to Configuring Global Collection Settings for more information.
Backing up the Data Store
A database backup of the system is needed.
Back up the data store
- Open an SSH terminal session to Skylight orchestrator on port 22.
Note: If you are running a redundant configuration, the back-up must be taken from the active site. - Log in as the visionems user.
- Change to the scripts directory by entering:
cd /opt/accedian/skylight/scripts
- Create a backup of the data store by entering:
./ems_backup_mysql.sh -d
The backup is created and saved in the /opt/accedian/backups directory.
Stopping the Application
The application must be stopped before running the upgrade scripts.
Stopping the application for a Hot Standby configuration
Active Site
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Stop the Hot Standby process by entering:
redundancy control stop
- Start mysql by entering:
service start mysql
Standby Site
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Start mysql by entering:
service start mysql
Stopping the application for a Non-Hot Standby configuration
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Stop the application by entering:
service stop app_server
Transferring Files to the Machine
This procedure explains how to install the required upgrade package files to the appropriate location.
The following upgrade files must be available:
- upgradeAppliance-SO_v23.04.1_1_package-prod.tar
- SO_v23.04.1_1.fsa
To transfer files
The procedure must be executed as the visionems user.
- From your computer, use an SCP client (such as WinSCP) and the visionems account to transfer the required files to the /data folder.
CAUTION: The location of the required files must be /data.
Upgrading a Virtual Machine
This procedure contains instructions on how to upgrade to Skylight orchestrator 23.04.1. Upgrades are supported from the following releases:

- Virtual machine running 23.04 60K profile
This upgrade requires the following procedures to be performed:
- Upgrading to the New Software Version
- Setting the Deployment Profile
Note: If you are running a redundant configuration, this procedure must be executed on each virtual machine of the redundant pair.
Upgrading to the New Software Version
This procedure will install the upgraded software.
To upgrade to the new software
- Open an SSH terminal session to port 22 of the virtual appliance.
- Log in as the visionems user
cd /data
- Un-tar and change the permissions on the upgrade file by entering:
tar -xvf upgradeAppliance-SO_v23.04.1_1_package-prod.tar
rm upgradeAppliance-SO_v23.04.1_1_package-prod.tar
sudo chmod 770 ./upgradeAppliance
If prompted, provide the visionems user password.
- Execute the script that does the partition upgrade:
./upgradeAppliance -up /data/SO_v23.04.1_1.fsa
Notes:
Only the absolute path file will be supported; otherwise you will get a relative file error message. This step will apply a new OS to the inactive partition.
This archive is a new operating system that will host the Skylight orchestrator software. During execution, the script will prompt you to increase SSH timeout if timeout is less than 10 minutes.
This script will ask you to reboot system to take effect.

Post-Installation Procedures
This section explains the procedures applicable after your upgrade.
The post-installation procedures are:
- Restarting the Application
- Post-Upgrade Checks
Restarting the Application
This procedure will start the upgraded software.
Restarting the application for Hot Standby configuration
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator designated as the preferred active
site on port 2200. - Log in as the visionems user.
- Configure the preferred site to last active site, enter:
redundancy config preferred {site-a | site-b}
- Start the Hot Standby process by entering:
redundancy control start
- Verify redundancy status, enter:
redundancy show status
Notes:
It may take up to 10 minutes for the app_server to go from starting to started.
When “redundancy show status” reports that replication status is up, the application can be accessed.
Restarting the application for a Non-Hot Standby configuration
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Start the application by entering:
service start app_server
Note: It may take up to 10 minutes for the app_server to go from starting to started.
Verifying the Startup Status
To verify the startup status
- Enter:
service show
A list of services (that are currently running) is displayed. Ensure that the state of all services is shown as Started.
- Close the terminal session to port 2200 by entering:
exit
Post-Upgrade Checks
The final step of the upgrade is to check the network inventory and ensure that Skylight orchestrator is operational. The following steps constitute a basic verification of the state of Skylight orchestrator.
To verify network inventory and check Skylight orchestrator functionality
- Log in to the Skylight orchestrator web application in a supported web browser.
- Click the Accedian icon to display the About window.
The Build Version should indicate version 23.04.1. - Access the Device ▶ Managed Elements tab and verify that the total count of network elements at the bottom-left corner is accurate.
- Click the icon at the bottom-right corner and verify that the current alarm count is accurate.
- Access the Commission ▶ Jobs tab and verify that any pre-existing configuration jobs are still present.
- Access the Collection ▶ Reporting Status tab and verify the following:
- The list of performance elements with a pm collect agent.
- The CSV time and Transfer time have both recently been updated for all elements with streaming enabled.
- Access Admin ▶ Licensing to verify that the current License server is the as same as before upgrading:
- Verify that the License server is Integrated Server if you imported the "Skylight-orchestrator - Internal License server" key on the Skylight orchestrator before upgrading.
- Verify that the connection with SDLS has been established if you configured the Skylight orchestrator connection to the license server before upgrading.
Note: Importing "Skylight-orchestrator - Internal License server" key after upgrading Skylight orchestrator is no longer required.You can promptly change the license server from ‘Integrated Server' to 'SDLS’ and vice versa without restarting app_server.
- Check your session status by accessing Sessions tab.
Note: All functionality is added by default; importing Feature Activation Key in order to enable functionalities after upgrading Skylight orchestrator is no longer required.
Rollback Procedure
This section explains how to roll back to the original operating system partition and restore the system to its initial state.
If you must roll back a cluster deployment, you must repeat the procedure on all appliances on which the upgrade was performed (successfully or unsuccessfully).
Rollback for Skylight orchestrator Procedure
This procedure explains how to roll Skylight orchestrator back to the previous release.
You would only need to perform the rollback procedure if problems occur during the appliance upgrade procedure, such as:
- An error message occurs during the upgrade process that prevents you from proceeding.
- The upgrade process terminates unexpectedly.
- The application does not function as expected after the upgrade.
Procedure Requirements
The following requirement applies to the procedure:
- This procedure must be executed as the visionems user. To execute these procedures, you must know the visionems credentials.
Stopping the Application
Stopping the application for Hot Standby configuration
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Stop the Hot Standby process by entering:
redundancy control stop
Stopping the application for a Non-Hot Standby configuration
- Open an SSH terminal session to the Skylight orchestrator on port 2200.
- Log in as the visionems user.
- Stop the application by entering:
service stop app_server
Rolling back the upgrade
Repeat this procedure on all appliances that were upgraded.
To roll back the upgrade
- Using an SSH terminal session to port 22 of the appliance, log in to the appliance as the visionems user.
- After logging in, change to the directory where the scripts are stored by entering:
cd /data
- Execute the script that switches to the secondary partition OS (inactive partition):
./upgradeAppliance -sp
The following output is displayed as the script runs:
vision@visionems:/data$ ./upgradeAppliance –sp
[sudo] password for visionems:
