1. Shutdown your OpenEMPI server instance. Make sure the server has shutdown before moving on to the next step. This and the following steps should be performed as user ‘openempi’ (or the user that owns the files of the distribution).

on Linux: /sysnet/openempi/openempi-4.3.x/bin/shutdown.sh on Windows cd d:\sysnet\openempi\openempi-4.3.x bin\shutdown.bat |
2. Backup your OrientDB databases or make sure you have up-to-date backups.
3. Install the 4.3.y instance in its new OPENEMPI_HOME directory. Follow the installation instructions for installing a new instance of OpenEMPI from a distribution that can be found here. The recommended approach is to install new releases under the same parent directory so that openempi-4.3.x and openempi-4.3.y are in the same directory. On our installations, we follow the convention of installing new releases in the /sysnet/openempi directory so that the 4.3.x release would be installed in the /sysnet/openempi/openempi-4.3.x directory and the 4.3.y release would be installed in the /sysnet/openempi/openempi-4.3.y directory.

8. Start your instance of OpenEMPI using the startup script from the new release directory. If you are using a service startup script to automatically start your instance of OpenEMPI, make sure you update the script to reflect its new directory location (this is usually installed in /etc/systemd/system/openempi.service).

You can check on the startup progress of the application by looking at the openempi.log file using the following command. Note that the path may vary for your site and specific version you are using.
