Upgrading the nodes of your RabbitMQ cluster can be done without any downtime for your
system.
Before you begin
If you are upgrading from Genetec Mission Controlâ„¢ 2.13.3.0, you would not need to
upgrade your RabbitMQ setup. However, it is recommended that you validate your RabbitMQ setup
after the upgrade to ensure optimal operational efficiency.
Refer the Upgrading
RabbitMQ article to understand the deployment process.
Make sure the
Incident Manager role and the RabbitMQ cluster is configured
correctly.
Copy the Mission Control installation package to all RabbitMQ
servers.
Procedure
-
Create a copy of the certificates folder for the RabbitMQ server on every system. The
folder location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec\RabbitMQ.
-
Open the Task Manager, in the Services tab
right-click on RabbitMQ and stop the service.
-
Run the Genetec Mission Controlâ„¢ Installer, choose
Advanced and click Next.
-
On the Custom Setup page:
- Select the RabbitMQ Server option.
- Clear both the Mission Control and Restart
Genetecâ„¢ Server options.
-
Click Install to complete the RabbitMQ upgrade.
NOTE: During the install, it is expected that the Incident Manager
role and the RabbitMQ manager web page displays warning messages.
-
After the installer finishes its process, open Task manager and
stop the RabbitMQ service.
-
In the file explorer, delete the original certificate folder and rename the copied
folder with the name of the original.
-
Start the RabbitMQ service in the Task Manager.
The Incident Manager role and the RabbitMQ manager web
page does not display warning messages.

Repeat the above process on all remaining RabbitMQ servers.
