Upgrade Autonomous Identity

Autonomous Identity provides an upgrade command to update your core software to the latest version while migrating your data.

Upgrade Considerations

Database Systems are the Same. If your current database is Apache Cassandra, you cannot upgrade to a MongoDB-based system. You will need to run a clean installation with the new version.
Host IPs should be the Same. Host IP addresses must be the same for existing components. You must update the ~/autoid-config/hosts file by adding the IP addresses for the Elasticsearch entries. See the instructions below.
Registry Key Required. To download the deployment images for the upgrade, you still need your registry key to log into the ForgeRock Google Cloud Registry (gcr.io). Copy your registry key from your previous build to your new upgrade.

Make sure to test the upgrade on a staging or QA server before running it in production.

Upgrade Paths

The upgrade assumes the following upgrade paths depends on your current deployment version. The preferred upgrade path is to the latest patch release. The following chart summarizes these upgrade paths:

Table 1: Upgrade Paths
Version	Upgrade To	See
2021.8.x (2021.8.0–2021.8.2)	2021.8.4	Upgrade from Autonomous Identity 2021.8.x to 2021.8.4
2021.8.x (2021.8.0–2021.8.2) Air-Gapped	2021.8.4 Air-Gapped	Upgrade from Autonomous Identity 2021.8.x to 2021.8.4 Air-Gapped
2021.3.x (2021.3.0–2021.3.5)	2021.3.0–2021.3.4 → 2021.3.5 → 2021.8.0 → 2021.8.4	Upgrade from Autonomous Identity 2021.3.x to 2021.8.4

Upgrade from Autonomous Identity 2021.8.x to 2021.8.4

The following instructions are for upgrading from Autonomous Identity version 2021.8.x (2021.8.0, 2021.8.1, 2021.8.2, 2021.8.3) to the latest version 2021.8.4 in non air-gapped deployments.

Upgrade from 2021.8.x to 2021.8.4 Non Air-Gap:

Start on the target server, and back up your /data/conf configuration file. The upgrade overwrites this file when updating, so you must restore this file after running the upgrade.
```
$ sudo mv /data/conf ~/backup-data-conf-2021.8.x
```
Next, if you changed any analytic settings on your deployment, make note of your configuration, so that you can replicate those settings on the upgraded server. Log in to Autonomous Identity, navigate to Administration > Analytic Settings, and record your settings.
On the deployer machine, back up the 2021.8.x ~/autoid-config directory or move it to another location.
```
$ mv ~/autoid-config ~/backup-2021.8.x
```
Create a new ~/autoid-config directory.
```
$ mkdir ~/autoid-config
```
Copy your autoid_registry_key.json, ansible.cfg, and vault.yml files from your backup directory to ~/autoid-config. If your vault.yml file is encrypted, copy the .autoid_vault_password file to ~/autoid-config.
Copy your original SSH key into the new directory.
```
$ cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/autoid-config
```
Change the permission on the SSH key.
```
$ chmod 400 ~/autoid-config/id_rsa
```

Check if you can successfully SSH to the target server.

$ ssh autoid@<Target-IP-Address>

```
Run the create-template command to generate the deployer.sh script wrapper and configuration files. Note that the command sets the configuration directory on the target node to /config. The --user parameter eliminates the need to use sudo while editing the hosts file and other configuration files.
```
$ docker run --user=$(id -u) -v ~/autoid-config:/config \
-it gcr.io/forgerock-autoid/deployer:2021.8.4 create-template
```

Configure your upgraded system by editing the ~/autoid-config/vars.yml , ~/autoid-config/hosts , and ~/autoid-config/vault.yml files on the deployer machine.

You must keep your configuration settings consistent from one system to another.
Download the images. This step downloads software dependencies needed for the deployment and places them in the autoid-packages directory. Make sure you are in the ~/autoid-config directory.
```
$ ./deployer.sh download-images
```
Run the upgrade on versions 2021.8.0-2021.8.3:
```
$ ./deployer.sh debug upgrade_2020_8
```
SSH to the target server.
On the target server, restore your /data/conf configuration file from your previous installation.
```
$ sudo mv ~/backup-data-conf-2021.8.x /data/conf 
```
Re-apply your analytics settings to your upgraded server if you made changes on your previous Autonomous Identity machine. Log in to Autonomous Identity, navigate to Administration > Analytics Settings, and edit your changes.
Log out and then log back in to Autonomous Identity.

You have successfully upgraded your Autonomous Identity server to 2021.8.4.
