Upgrade Instructions
4.1. Upgrade from 3.0.x to 4.2
Perform the following to upgrade from version 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.5, 3.0.6, or 3.0.7 to
version 4.2.
1. If you are upgrading from 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, ensure that you query your IP address usage records and
process them; for example, issue invoices for any usage that you have not yet billed users for.
Starting in 3.0.2, the usage record format for IP addresses is the same as the rest of the usage
types. Instead of a single record with the assignment and release dates, separate records are
generated per aggregation period with start and end dates. After upgrading, any existing IP
address usage records in the old format will no longer be available.
2. While running the 3.0.x system, log in to the UI as root administrator.
3. Using the UI, add a new System VM template for each hypervisor type that is used in your cloud.
In each zone, add a system VM template for each hypervisor used in that zone.
Note
You might notice that the size of the system VM template has increased compared to
previous CloudPlatform versions. This is because the new version of the underlying Debian
template has an increased disk size.
