Server software upgrade methods

When you want to use the enhanced functionalities of HCL OneTest Server, you must upgrade HCL OneTest Server to the latest version.

You can upgrade the server software by using following methods:

  • In-place upgrade: In this method, you can upgrade the server software in the same location that contained 10.1.3 or later version of the server software by using the helm upgrade command.

  • Upgrade (by new install): In this method, you can upgrade the server software by uninstalling the existing version of HCL OneTest Server, and then by installing the latest version of the server software.

Important: On the Ubuntu platform, the In-place upgrade method is not available. You must use the Upgrade (by new install) method to upgrade the server software.

The upgrade procedures are different based on the existing version of the software. To learn more about server software upgrade methods on platforms such as Ubuntu and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), refer to the following topics:
