Upgrade VeridiumID from 3.5.4/3.6.x to v3.7.0

 

This document will provide a step by step procedure to upgrade to VeridiumID 3.7.0.

It is recommended to take a snapshot for the servers before update.

The procedure will provide information regarding both update methods:

  • using a configured YUM repository

  • using local packages

The update is done without downtime, one node at a time. Please start with WEBAPP nodes and after that do the installation on PERSISTENCE nodes. In order to have no impact, please take out from the balancer the node on which install is running.
WEBAPP node is a server where websecadmin is installed, PERSISTENCE node is a server where Cassandra is installed.

The application 3.5.4/3.6.x is compatible with 3.7.0 database schema.

Starting with version 3.7.0, it is used JAVA 11 version. Please install this package before the update:

CODE 
## please check JAVA version
java --version
## PLEASE INSTALL JAVA 11 from local repositories, if not already installed; it should be OPENJDK distribution. Without this step the update will not be possible
sudo yum install java-11-openjdk -y
## if JAVA 8 is not the current java, please change it using below command, and select option for JAVA8
sudo update-alternatives --config java

Check if packages are visible in the repository. If the packages are not visible, please upload them into your repository, based on the OS you are using.

CODE 
## check installed package
sudo yum list installed veridiumid_update_procedure
## check availability of the new package; if this package is not available, please fix the issue with the repository
sudo yum list available veridiumid_update_procedure-11.0.39-20240918

If the package is available, please execute below commands on all nodes, first on WEBAPP and later on PERSITENCE nodes. Please execute the update one by one servers, not in parallel.

CODE 
sudo yum clean metadata

sudo python3 /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/preUpdateSteps.py --version 11.0.39 --use-repo
sudo python3 /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/startUpdate.py --version 11.0.39 --use-repo
sudo bash /etc/veridiumid/scripts/check_services.sh

 

4) Post update steps

4.1) This procedure will migrate all the data to Elasticsearch (devices, accounts) in order to have better reports.

CODE 
##please run it on a PERSISTENCE node
sudo bash /opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh
##the revert option is:
#sudo bash /opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -x

4.2) After updating all nodes, please update Cassandra from 4.0.9 to 4.1.4 on persistence nodes. Please execute the update one by one servers, not in parallel. This procedure might be with a downtime until executed on all nodes. If Cassandra was updated in a previous version, than no update is needed.

If update is done with local packages:

CODE 
/opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool describecluster
## if the version is 4.0.9, than update should be executed; the proper version is 4.1.4
TMP_DEST="/home/veridiumid/update370"
sudo bash /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/resources/scripts/370/update_cassandra.sh ${TMP_DEST}/packages/
##check status
sudo /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool status
sudo /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool describecluster
## if number of devices are not seen in websecadmin, please recreate lucene indices, only on one node, after the full udpate
bash /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/conf/recreateCassandraLuceneIndexes.sh -c /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/conf/maintenance.conf

If update is done withing repo:

CODE 
/opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool describecluster
## if the version is 4.0.9, than update should be executed; the proper version is 4.1.4
sudo bash /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/resources/scripts/360/update_cassandra.sh
##check status and wait till it starts before going to next node
sudo /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool status
sudo /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/bin/nodetool describecluster
## if number of devices are not seen in websecadmin, please recreate lucene indices
sudo bash /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/conf/recreateCassandraLuceneIndexes.sh -c /opt/veridiumid/cassandra/conf/maintenance.conf

4.3) If “Error message: [es/index] failed: [mapper_parsing_exception] failed to parse field [authenticationDeviceOsPatch] of type [date] in document with id“ error appears in bops.log, the bellow procedure should be applied

 

CODE 
## this procedure needs to be applied, only if the following error appears in bops.log
## Error message: [es/index] failed: [mapper_parsing_exception] failed to parse field [authenticationDeviceOsPatch] of type [date] in document with id
############################################
index=veridium.sessions-$(date '+%Y-%m')
## copy data from current index to a new index
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=PUT -p=/${index}/_block/write
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=POST -p=/_reindex?wait_for_completion=false -d='{"source":{"index":"'${index}'"},"dest":{"index":"'${index}'_00001"}}'
##use the TASKIS returned by this command, to run the next command and wait to have competion=true
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=GET -p=/_tasks/TASKID_RETURNED_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND
## flush indices and check if the number of entries are the same; if there is the same number of events, remove the current index
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=POST -p=/veridium.*/_flush
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -l | grep ${index}
## remove current index 
bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=DELETE -p=/${index}
## just in case of issues, to  unblock an index:
###bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=PUT -p=/${index}_00001/_settings -d='{"index":{"blocks.write":false}}'

4.4) If “Error Forbiden operation appears when accessing SSP”, the following workaround should be applied, and accessed once ok the admin console.

CODE 
bash /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/resources/scripts/370/reinitApp370.sh
