Prepare Config

This is the first step of upgrade process and uses the prepare_config.yml playbook. This playbook performs the following tasks:

• Imports the input configuration parameters from Omnia v1.6 and generates the input configurations for v1.6.1.

Before executing prepare_config.yml, user needs to update upgrade_config.yml with the following details:

Parameter	Description
old_input_location (Required)	This variable points to the input directory of the old Omnia 1.6 installation Example input location: /root/omnia15/omnia/input
backup_location (Required)	This variable points to the directory where OmniaDB backups should be stored. This directory must exist prior to running prepare_config.yml Example: /root/omnia-backups

Note

During the upgrade from version 1.6 to 1.6.1, Omnia does not require the creation of a backup file. This is because none of the details from the Omnia database are deleted during the upgrade process.

To execute the prepare_config.yml playbook, run the following command:

cd omnia/upgrade
ansible-playbook prepare_config.yml -i <Omnia_1.6_inventory_file_path>

Expected output of this playbook execution:

• Auto-populated Omnia v1.6.1 configuration files in the <omnia_1.6.1_location>/omnia/input.
