Upgrading in Console Mode

When you upgrade in console mode, you can change the node configuration to upgrade the domain to a different machine or to a different domain configuration repository database. You can upgrade the domain in console mode on Linux or UNIX.

When you run the installer in console mode, the words Quit and Back are reserved words. Do not use them as input text.

On a shell command line, run the install.sh file from the root directory.

The installer displays the message to verify that the locale environment variables are set.

If the environment variables are not set, press

to exit the installer and set them as required.

If the environment variables are set, press

to continue.

Press
