Performing a backup-and-restore upgrade (clustered instances)

This section describes how to perform a backup-and-restore upgrade on Coverity Connect clustered instances (Coordinators and Subscribers) that use an embedded database.

Note: After using the installer to perform a backup-and-restore upgrade on an instance, you need to update SSL certificates and truststores. For details, see "Setting up SSL certificates and TrustStores" in the Coverity Platform User and Administrator Guide.

To perform a backup-and-restore upgrade on a clustered instance that uses an embedded database:

  1. Upgrade the instance using the installer. For details, see Performing a backup-and-restore upgrade (standalone instances).
  2. (Perform this step on subscriber instances only) If the address of the Coordinator has changed as part of the upgrade, specify the new address of the Coordinator by editing the remoteconfig.coordinator property in the cim.properties file in the new installation directory.
    Note: You can start up a subscriber instance, test it, and shut it down even if the coordinator is not running. However, do not start a subscriber until you have finished the upgrade procedure for that subscriber.

  3. Update SSL certificates and truststores as needed. For details, see "Setting up SSL certificates and TrustStores" in the Coverity Platform User and Administrator Guide.
