Puppet PuppetDB upgrade

Question

I am upgrading my entire puppet infrastructure to the latest available version.  I have a PuppetDB as a part of my puppet infrastructure along with a puppet master on linux and two agents one being on linux and other being a windows agent. Is PuppetDB upgrade dependent on my puppet master upgrade? Should i wait for my puppet master to first upgrade and then start PuppetDB upgrade? What's the process to upgrade my PuppetDB? Kindly help.

Answer 1

PuppetDB can be upgraded independently of your master and agent nodes.

Follow these steps, depending on whether you want to automate upgrade or manually upgrade.

• To automate upgrade, specify the version parameter of the puppetlabs/puppetdb module’s puppetdb::globals class.

• To manually upgrade, on the PuppetDB node, run the command appropriate to your package installer:

Yum:

yum update puppetdb

Apt:

apt-get update apt-get install --only-upgrade puppetdb

• On your master, upgrade the puppetdb-termini package by running the command appropriate to your package installer:

Yum:

yum update puppetdb-termini

Apt:

apt-get update apt-get install --only-upgrade puppetdb-termini
