It is recommended to have the secondary node configured and synchronized (cluster setup) to ensure that we can still log in to servers via the secondary node and not be locked out in the event of an unsuccessful upgrade.

Backup current Ezeelogin installation

Execute the following script on your server to generate a backup of your installation so that you can restore the backup in case the upgrade breaks. Run /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -help for the help menu.

[email protected]_gateway:~$/usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php

The directory /var/log/ezlogin stores the user ssh sessions that are recorded. This dir could run into huge size ( 1GB >) which would cause the backup_ezlogin.php script to take long to complete ( The ssh logs recorded has to be tar 'red and the gzip 'ed compressed which is time and resource intensive). In such, cases its advisable to skip the ssh logs directory while running the backup _ezlogin.php script as follows so that a backup archive is created super quickly.

[[email protected]_gateway ~]# /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -nologs

By default, the backup archives are created in /var/ directory. To change the destination directory, use

[[email protected]_gateway ~]#php /usr/local/sbin/backup_ezlogin.php -out /backup_directory/

This would create an executable archive of your ezeelogin installation in /var/ezlogin_backup_v6.2.0_b167_Fri_Mar_02_2012_04_23_22_CST.bin

Execute the backup bin file to restore if something goes wrong and you would like to revert.

Ok, now that we have the backups ready, let go ahead with the update on the primary node as follows, preferably in the screen

Check the /var/log/ezlogin_backup.log for any errors that occurred during the backup process.

Restoring Ezeelogin jump server from backup

If something is broken after the upgrade, no worries. We will restore the backup from the archive that was created. You would first need to uninstall the current installation on the gateway. Run the following script to uninstall

Backup ezeelogin configuration file directory and ssh logs before uninstall

[email protected]_gateway:~# cp /usr/local/etc/ezlogin /usr/local/etc/ezlogin_backup

[email protected]_gateway:~# cp /var/log/ezlogin var/log/ezlogin_backup

[email protected]_gateway:~$ /usr/local/sbin/uninstall_ezlogin.php

Now that we have uninstalled it, we can go ahead and restore the binary backup archive that was created.

[email protected]_gateway:~$sh /var/ezlogin_backup_v7.0.0_b167_Fri_Mar_02_2012_04_23_22_CST.bin

If you want to do the restore in one step with your existing settings and without being prompted.

[email protected]_gateway:~sh ezlogin_backup_v7.9.0_b381_Wed_Feb_13_2019_23_26_03_IST.bin  -- -skipgeolite -auto -force -ACCEPT_SETTINGS -I_ACCEPT_EULA

Replace the backup filename with your backup file. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the restoration.

Increase php memory in /etc/php.ini if backup restoration fails without any reasons. Do check /var/log/ezlogin_restore.log for errors.

Upgrading Ezeelogin jump server on the Secondary Node

For Ezeelogin Version 7.23.0 and above

This option will support only from Ezeelogin version 7.23.0 and above.

You can upgrade secondary node with following command

[email protected]_gateway:~ sh ezlogin_7.x.x.bin -- -secondary <ip_adress of the secondary/slave node> -othernode <ip_address of master node> -update

You should upgrade slave node only after upgrading master node. If slave node once upgraded, you should need to upgrade master before upgrading slave node again.

For Ezeelogin Version 7.22.0 and below

Unfortunately, the secondary nodes need to be re-installed for ezeelogin version 7.22.0 and below

Backup ezeelogin configuration file directory and ssh logs directory before uninstall

[email protected]_gateway:~# cp /usr/local/etc/ezlogin /usr/local/etc/ezlogin_backup

[email protected]_gateway:~# cp /var/log/ezlogin /var/log/ezlogin_backup
Uninstall ezeelogin with following command

[email protected]_gateway:~$ /usr/local/sbin/uninstall_ezlogin.php
Download the same package used for the primary

wget https://downloads.ezeelogin.com/ezlogin_7.x.x.bin
Execute the following command

[email protected]_gateway:~sh ezlogin_7.x.x.bin -- -secondary <ip_adress of the secondary/slave node> -othernode <ip_address of master node>

Copy the lic.dat from the /usr/local/etc/ezlogin_backup to /usr/local/etc/ezlogin directory if you are using the standalone license. Also, copy tls_cert.pem and tls_key.pem to /usr/local/etc/ezlogin directory, if you are using webssh, ezproxy or webrdp feature

Refer to the following article to set up a secondary node.
