`bm admin update`

Description

The bm admin update command updates all Buckit servers in the deployment. The command also supports using a private mirror server for environments where the deployment does not have public internet access.

After running the command, a prompt displays to confirm the update. Type y and [ENTER] to confirm and proceed with the update.

The user must have write permissions for the target location where the binary installs.

Use bm admin on Buckit Deployments Only

Buckit does not support using bm admin commands with other S3-compatible services, regardless of their claimed compatibility with Buckit deployments.

Considerations

Updates are Non-Disruptive

bm admin update updates the binary and restarts all Buckit servers in the deployment simultaneously. Buckit operations are atomic and strictly consistent and as such the restart process is non-disruptive to applications.

Buckit strongly recommends only performing simultaneous upgrade-and-restart procedures. Do not perform “rolling” (that is, one node at a time) upgrade procedures.

Permissions

The user running the command must have write permissions to the target path where the Buckit Server binary installs.

Examples

Use bm admin update to update each minio server process in the Buckit deployment:

bm admin update ALIAS

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the Buckit deployment.

After running the command, answer yes to the prompt to confirm and process the update.

Syntax

bm admin update has the following syntax:

bm admin update ALIAS         \
                [MIRROR_URL]  \
                [--yes]

bm admin update supports the following arguments:

ALIAS

The alias of the Buckit deployment to update.

If the specified ALIAS corresponds to a distributed Buckit deployment, bm admin update updates all Buckit servers in the deployment at the same time.

Use bm alias list to review the configured aliases and their corresponding Buckit deployment endpoints.

MIRROR_URL: The mirror URL of the minio server binary to use for updating Buckit servers in the ALIAS deployment.

--yes, -y: Optional
Pass this flag to confirm the update and bypass the confirmation prompt.

Behavior

Binary Compression

This feature does not apply to systemctl managed deployments.
