-===== Appliance Upgrade To 1803 =====
-latest update: Nov. 28, 2018
-The SME Enterprise File Fabric platform is shipped as a virtual appliance, this makes it easy to deploy. The new generation of Enterprise File Fabric has a more comprehensive way to upgrade.  Upgrades from v10.x SME appliance or later are accomplished in-place, without the need to redeploy and migrate to a new virtual machine.
-Please note that this procedure is written for systems that follow "standard" supported deployment architectures, for advanced deployments please contact support.
-Enterprise File Fabric 1803 is currently available in enterprise repositories.
-==== Prerequisites ====
-Ensure the following prerequisites are met before beginning an upgrade:
-  * SME version 10.0.X, 1705.X, 1712.X is installed and functional
-  * Public internet access for download patches
-  * A complete backup / snapshot has been done of both the system and the database
-<WRAP center round important 100%>
-Verify storage providers have a valid certificates (especially when upgrading from 10.x or 1705). See [[cloudproviders:certificates]] for more information.
-</WRAP>
-In addition, you must ensure you have full administrator access to the systems.  The following user accounts and passwords will be required:
-  * smeconfiguser
-  * root
-  * appladmin
-  * organizational admin(s) of your organization
-We always recommend that customers first perform an upgrade on a test system. This gives you the opportunity to try out any new features, and validate expected behaviour before and after the upgrade.
-<WRAP center round important 100%>
-During the upgrade, ongoing uploads will be cancelled and the site will be unavailable for a short duration, please schedule downtime accordingly.
-</WRAP>
-=== Prepare for the upgrade ===
-To receive upgrades for File Fabric you will need a valid support contract.
-Start by backing up the appliance. This upgrade will be an upgrade of both software and the database, please do not proceed without a good backup. SME does not support a database rollback, so if something does not go to plan, a system restore will be required.
-== Checking storage certificates ==
-Enterprise File Fabric version 1712 introduced greater security controls around storage providers SSL/TLS support. You should ensure you are familiar with these updates before proceeding. Details for this can be [[https://docs.storagemadeeasy.com/cloudappliance/smeinplaceupgrade#checking_storage_certificates|found here]].
-=== Upgrade ===
-Log into the SME appliance as smeconfiguser e.g.
-<code>
-ssh smeconfiguser@cloudfiles.example.com
-</code>
-Change user to root
-<code>
-su -
-</code>
-Next, we want to ensure that the Enterprise repository is installed. If it is installed already, the output will inform you that there is nothing to change
-<code>
-yum install https://download.storagemadeeasy.com/sme-repo-release-latest.rpm
-</code>
-Now update the appliance with the following command
-<code>
-yum clean all
-yum install sme-package-1803.07 sme-release
-</code>
-After the update is complete, please reboot the system.
