This guide will take you through how a Management Suite server running version 31.18.xx can be upgraded to a Management Suite server running version 40.0x.xx

Checklist

• Recommended that you take a snapshot of your Current VM, prior to starting Advanced Upgrade
• Internet access is required as the process will download software from Synergy SKY (download.joingw.com) and from Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. List of Rocky Linux mirrors can be found here https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/mirrors 
• Verify root partition has the correct size of 20Gb or more
• Keycloak must be disabled before the advanced upgrade, and setup as new once the upgrade is completed.

Step-by-Step guide

• Login as admin as usual then exit to shell
• Switch to root user, enter command:

sudo su -

• Verify size of root partition with command:

df -h

• Confirm the partition listed has 20-25Gb total space. If this shows less than 20Gb, please open a Support Case for assistance in expanding the partition. If this shows as 20Gb or more, proceed to the next command.
• Additionally ensure that /var/db is at least 128GB or larger.
• Download and run upgrade with the following command:

bash <(curl -s https://download.joingw.com/SUITE/suite_migration/migrate_suite.sh)

A restart of the virtual machine is required after the upgrade has completed:

sudo reboot
