Before starting, open a maintenance window to see the status of the Teradata components during the upgrade process, including data, summary alerts, and reports. See Teradata® Server Management Web Services User Guide.
After initiation, the upgrade process is completely non-interactive. During the upgrade, PUT reboots the system.

When performing a major upgrade, you must redeploy the system.

The Scale Out/Scale In feature is supported on Teradata Database 5.0 and later. You cannot use this feature if you upgrade Teradata Database from earlier versions using a software bundle.

  1. Download the required upgrade bundles. Because the operating system upgrade bundle includes both important security updates and the latest version of PUT, you must upgrade the operating system whenever upgrading other Teradata components in a virtual or public cloud environment.
  2. Log in as the root user to the system where the component you are upgrading is installed.
  3. If the following directory does not exist, create it: /var/opt/teradata/swupgrade-source
  4. Transfer the downloaded upgrade bundles to /var/opt/teradata/swupgrade-source.
  5. Change to the PUT bin directory: /opt/teradata/TDput/bin
  6. Run the swupgrade -U command:
    • If the TDput version is 03.09.01.07 or higher, set an environmental variable with your dbc password and run the swupgrade with the -d option:
      # export SWUPGRADEDBC='xxx'
# /opt/teradata/TDput/bin/swupgrade -U -d
      Where xxx is your dbc password. If the password contains any special characters, you must use single quotes around your dbc password.
    • If the TDput version is lower than 03.09.01.07, set your dbc password to dbc and run the command:
      # /opt/teradata/TDput/bin/swupgrade -U
    Progress messages display on the screen until the system reboots.
  7. Log back on to the system and run the command to display the log as the upgrade completes: tail -f /var/opt/teradata/TDput/fileservice/logs/swupgrade.log PUT displays the following message to indicate the upgrade completed:
    Operation completed with exit status 0
::
::
Output for this script (swupgrade) can be found at /var/opt/teradata/TDput/fileservice/logs/swupgrade.log
  8. Press Ctrl+c to exit the tail command.
