#How to Update the ManageIQ code on a MIQ Server

1. Shutdown EVM process, postrgresql, and memcached

   su - miqbuilder
   
   

2. Shutdown server

   shutdown now
   
   

3. Take a snapshot of the server
4. Start server
5. Make sure the memcached and postgresql processes started properly

   service memcached start
   service postgresql start
   
   

6. Sudo as miq-builder

   su - miqbuilder
   
   

7. Do a git pull

   cd /opt/manageiq
   git pull
   
   

8. Perform bundle install. Note: I had to run the following commmand, bundle update httpclient, before I could execute the block of code below. When you run the first bundle install it will tell you if you need to force update httpclient or any other gems. Update any additional gems if the bundle install complains.

   cd manageiq/vmdb
   bundle install --without qpid
   cd ..
   vmdb/bin/rake build:shared_objects
   cd vmdb
   bundle install --without qpid
   
   

9. Update the database, it will only change DDL

   bin/rake db:migrate
   
   

10. Start the evm process and check the status to make sure everything came up after about a minute.

    cd /opt/manageiq/vmdb/
    bin/rake evm:start
