onap open network automation platform UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.0.0 and < 4.0.0

Fixed in: 4.0.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy open-network-automation-platform || rpm -q open-network-automation-platform || open-network-automation-platform --version

2. UPGRADE to 4.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade open-network-automation-platform

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade open-network-automation-platform

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison open-network-automation-platform sudo apt install open-network-automation-platform=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold open-network-automation-platform

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list open-network-automation-platform sudo dnf downgrade open-network-automation-platform-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add open-network-automation-platform

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
