Upgrading Appliances

In this example, we will update from jansa to kasparov.

Ensure that the appliance is up to date on the current branch
```
 # dnf update
```
Install the new manageiq-release RPM for the version that you want to upgrade to. Refer to the release directory in our RPM repository to find the latest manageiq-release rpm. Navigate to the non-nightly directory, el, then noarch directory for the version that you want to upgrade to, and get the URL for the manageiq-release rpm.
```
 # dnf install https://rpm.manageiq.org/release/11-kasparov/el8/noarch/manageiq-release-11.0-1.el8.noarch.rpm
```

Stop evmserverd if running

 # systemctl stop evmserverd
 # systemctl status evmserverd

Update the RPMs from the new repo
```
 # dnf update
```

Migrate the database

 # cd /var/www/miq/vmdb/
 # bundle exec rake db:migrate

Reboot the appliance
```
 # reboot
```

Update automation engine

In the UI navigate to Automation > Embedded Automate > Import/Export and click the Reset option ( Reset all components in the built-in domains). Always be sure to export the current datastore before importing or resetting.
