Back Up the Virtual Appliance Data

Before you begin the upgrade, complete the following steps:

  1. Download the Virtual Appliance upgrade VHD file from the Downloads portal.
  2. Shut down the Virtual Appliance:
    appdcli stop secapp
appdcli stop aiops
appdcli stop appd
<<Wait for pods to terminate before deleting operators>>
appdcli stop operators
  3. Run the backup command:
    appdcli run backup
    This command generates a <backup_tar> file with all the necessary data.
  4. Copy the backup file outside of the cluster.
