Upgrade to HAProxy Enterprise 3.0r1 Jump to heading #

The following upgrade procedure installs a new major version of HAProxy Enterprise.

1. If the HAProxy Enterprise server is part of a high-availability cluster, take it out of the cluster:

   • If using Active/Active clustering, update your network to stop sending traffic to the load balancer. For example, if using DNS roundrobin, remove the load balancer from DNS.
   • If using Active/Standby clustering, then on the active load balancer edit /etc/hapee-extras/hapee-vrrp.cfg. Lower the priority value to less than the standby load balancer’s priority. This will put the active load balancer into the standby state and simultaneously activate the standby load balancer. Then restart the hapee-extras-vrrp service.

2. Install HAProxy Enterprise 3.0r1 by running the following command and replacing <HAProxy Enterprise Key> with your HAProxy Enterprise license key:

   nix
   wget https://www.haproxy.com/static/install_haproxy_enterprise.sh
   sudo bash ./install_haproxy_enterprise.sh \
     --version 3.0r1 \
     --key <HAProxy Enterprise key>

   nix
   wget https://www.haproxy.com/static/install_haproxy_enterprise.sh
   sudo bash ./install_haproxy_enterprise.sh \
     --version 3.0r1 \
     --key <HAProxy Enterprise key>

3. Update additional modules. You may be running additional modules with HAProxy Enterprise, which you must also reinstall when you upgrade to a new release. Install a package using its name, for example, upgrade the lb-update package:

   nix
   sudo pkg install hapee-3.0r1-lb-update

   nix
   sudo pkg install hapee-3.0r1-lb-update

4. Copy /usr/local/etc/hapee-<PREVIOUS VERSION>/hapee-lb.cfg over to /usr/local/etc/hapee-3.0/hapee-lb.cfg and any associated files (maps, certificates, etc).

5. Stop the old HAProxy Enterprise daemon and start the new daemon:

   nix
   sudo service hapee_<PREVIOUS VERSION>_lb onestop
   sudo service hapee_30_lb onestart

   nix
   sudo service hapee_<PREVIOUS VERSION>_lb onestop
   sudo service hapee_30_lb onestart

6. Run tail -f /var/log/messages (or distribution equivalent) to check for warnings or errors.

7. Run curl localhost to ensure that HAProxy Enterprise is responding. Adjust address/port as needed, and use a local address that is currently active on the box and not a VRRP IP.

8. Put the upgraded server back into the cluster.

9. Repeat this procedure on secondary servers.
