Upgrade a single privileged instance
It is now possible to upgrade directly to later releases of Splunk SOAR (On-premises).
Privileged deployments upgrade directly to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 5.3.6, convert to unprivileged, then immediately upgrade to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 6.1.1.
Unprivileged deployments upgrade directly to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 6.1.1
See Splunk SOAR (On-premises) upgrade overview and prerequisites for more information.
Follow these steps to upgrade your instance.
The same TAR file is used for install and upgrade processes. The file detects the presence of SOAR and installs or upgrades accordingly.
- Read upgrade overview and prerequisites.
- Restart the operating system if you did not recently restart it as part of the prerequisites in Step 1.
This step is required to ensure that the upgrade completes successfully and efficiently.
As the root user:reboot
- After the system restarts, log in to the operating system as either the root user or a user with sudo privileges.
- Download the privileged installer from the Splunk SOAR site. The installer is packaged with static versions of the product's dependencies when the product is built. The installer is named in the format
splunk_soar-priv-<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<build>-<commit_short_sha>-el7-x86_64.tgz
- Extract the TGZ file you downloaded into the /opt/phantom directory using
tar -xf <installer>.tgz -C /opt/phantom/<installer-version>
. - Change directory to the /opt/phantom/<installer-version> directory.
- The installer package you extracted created a file called soar-install in the /opt/phantom/<installer-version> directory. Run that as root:
sudo ./soar-install --splunk-soar-home <$PHANTOM_HOME> --upgrade --with-apps
You can see the full list of arguments for the soar-install script by using the --help
option.
