Description
Scenario
------------
As of today, we do not support offline 'upgrade' per se for packages installed in non-root/sudo users. Upgrades are usually handled by package managers. Since these are absent in non-root users and rpm cannot handle more than a a single package upgrade(if there are many instances running), offline upgrades are not supported (confirmed with Bin).
ALL non-root installations will be affected by this limitation. Although a single instance running on a box under sudo user can be offline upgraded, it cannot be extended to more than one such instance.
This is important
Workaround
-----------------
- Online upgrade (swap with nodes running latest build, take old nodes down and do clean install)
- Backup data and restore after fresh install (cbbackup and cbrestore)
Note : At this point, these are mere suggestions and both these workarounds haven't been tested yet.
