    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.
