Backup the Scylla Manager data¶

Scylla Manager server persists its data to a Scylla cluster (data store). Before upgrading, backup the scylla_manager keyspace from Scylla Manager’s backend, following this backup procedure.

Install new Scylla Manager server 2.0¶

Before upgrading, check what version you are currently running:

CentOS / RHEL

rpm -q scylla-manager

Ubuntu / Debian

dpkg -s scylla-manager

Save the details of this version so you can rollback to it.

To upgrade:

Follow the procedure described in: Install new Scylla Manager server 2.0

Download, Install and Start Scylla Manager Agent¶

Follow the instructions described in Install the Scylla Manager Agent for installing the Scylla Manager Agent on every node in the cluster.

Start the Scylla Manager Server¶

From the Scylla Manager Server, run:

sudo systemctl start scylla-manager

Configure Scylla Manager to work with the authentication token¶

Copy the authentication token you created when installating the scylla-manager-agent:

sctool cluster update --auth-token=6Es3dm24U72NzAu9ANWmU3C4ALyVZhwwPZZPWtK10eYGHJ24wMoh9SQxRZEluWMc0qDrsWCCshvfhk9uewOimQS2x5yNTYUEoIkO1VpSmTFu5fsFyoDgEkmNrCJpXtfM -c cluster-name

Validate¶

Check that Scylla Manager service is running with sudo systemctl status scylla-manager.service. Confirm the service is active (running). If not, then start it with systemctl start scylla-manager.service.
Confirm that the upgrade changed the Client and Server version. Run sctool version and make sure both are 2.0.x version. For example:
```
sctool version
Client version: 2.0-0.20191220.5407198e
Server version: 2.0-0.20191220.5407198e
```

Confirm that following the update, that your managed clusters are still present. Run sctool cluster list

sctool cluster list
╭──────────────────────────────────────┬──────────╮
│ cluster id                           │ name     │
├──────────────────────────────────────┼──────────┤
│ db7faf98-7cc4-4a08-b707-2bc59d65551e │ cluster  │
╰──────────────────────────────────────┴──────────╯

Confirm that following the upgrade, status is up and running

sctool status -c <cluster_id|cluster_name>
Datacenter: AWS_1
╭───────────┬─────┬───────────┬───────────────╮
│ CQL       │ SSL │ REST      │ Host          │
