# Step-4 Upgrading ASE

Complete the following steps on all the ASE nodes in a cluster to upgrade to upgrade ASE 5.0 to 5.1.

## Before you begin

* Extract the upgrade scripts from the PingIntelligence upgrade package as explained in [Common upgrade tasks section](pingintelligence_upgrade_guide.html)

* Run the following command to disable ABS:

  ```
  # <ASE installation path>/ase/bin/cli.sh -u <username> -p <password> disable_abs
  ```

* Run the following command and stop ASE.

  ```
  # /<ASE installation path>/pingidentity/ase/bin/stop.sh -u <username> -p <password>
  ```

  For example:

  ```
  # /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase/bin/stop.sh -u admin -p pswd
  ```

  If ASE is running as a service, then run the following command.

  ```
  # systemctl stop pi-ase.service
  ```

* Make sure all the access logs are uploaded. Navigate to `/<ASE 5.0 installation path>/pingidentity/ase/log` and run the following command.

  ```shell
  $ ls -lrt | sed -r "s/(.+\s+.+\s+.+\s+.+\s+0\s+.+)//g" | grep "http\|decoy"
  ```

## About this task

Complete the following steps on all the ASE nodes in a cluster to upgrade to upgrade ASE 5.0 to 5.1.

## Steps

1. Download the ASE 5.1 binary. Copy the binary to a temporary directory and extract it.

   ```
   # cp pi-api-ase-rhel-5.1.tar.gz ~/pi-tmp/
   # cd ~/pi-tmp/
   # tar -xvf pi-api-ase-rhel-5.1.tar.gz
   ```

2. Navigate to `~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/upgrade/ase/` and copy the ASE upgrade script to the `~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/ase/util/` directory in the temporary directory.

   ```
   # cd ~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/upgrade/ase/
   # cp ase-upgrade.sh ~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/ase/util/
   ```

3. Navigate to the `/<ASE 5.0 installation path>/pingidentity/ase/config/` directory, and remove the existing ASE license from the directory.

4. Copy the new PingIntelligence 5.1 license into `/<ASE 5.0 installation path>/pingidentity/ase/config/` directory.

5. Navigate to the `~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/ase/util/` directory and run the upgrade script.

   ```
   # cd ~/pi-tmp/pingidentity/ase/util/
   # ./ase-upgrade.sh <ASE 5.0 installation path>
   ```

   For example:

   ```
   # ./ase-upgrade.sh /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase
   Step 5.0 is not running
   Copying new binaries for ASE 5.1
   Upgrade to ASE 5.1 is successful
   Please start ASE using: /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase/bin/start.sh
   If systemctl service present, run command: systemctl restart pi-ase.service
   .
   .
   ```

   |   |                                                                                   |
   | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | The` ase-upgrade.sh` script upgrades the Balancer and Controller binaries in ASE. |

6. Run the following command and verify the successful upgrade of the ASE node.

   ```
   # /<ASE installation path>/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh version
   ```

   For example:

   ```
   # /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh version
   ```

7. Start ASE nodes in a cluster setup one after the other.

   ```
   # /<ASE installation path>/pingidentity/ase/bin/start.sh
   ```

   For example:

   ```
   # /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase/bin/start.sh
   ```

   If ASE is running as a service, then run the following command.

   ```
   # systemctl start pi-ase.service
   ```

8. Run the following command to enable ABS:

   ```
   # <ASE installation path>/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p <password> enable_abs
   ```

9. Run the following command to check the status and verify the successful start of ASE node.

   ```
   # <ASE installation path>/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh status
   ```

   For example.

   ```
   # /home/pi-user/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh status
   ```

## Next steps

Enter the following command and enable ABS on ASE node.

```
# <ASE installation path>/ase/bin/cli.sh -u <username> -p <password> enable_abs
```
