Verify ServAssure NXT upgrade
Last Updated: June 30, 2026
  • After the upgrade process is completed and you have confirmed there were no errors, make sure that the software is installed and running correctly.
  • Follow the procedures in Success checklist after installation.
  • Several days after upgrading, once new applications are confirmed working without issues, database snapshots need to be manually cleaned up to free up disk space. Use Ansible tools to remove the snapshots. 
    $ ansible-playbook -i <pathInventoryFile> cassandra-snapshot-manager.yml
Enter 'CREATE', 'CLEAR', or 'LIST':

    Choose CLEAR to remove snapshots for all tenants.

    To selectively clear snapshots by tenant or snapshot names, consult the Cassandra "nodetool clearsnapshot" command documentation for details.

    WARNING: Newer versions of Java require an additional parameter when executing the nodetool command directly. If your Java is higher than 8.0.331, add:
    -Dcom.sun.jindi.rmiURLParsing=legacy

    to the nodetool command line.

    An error resembling the following indicates that the additional parameter is required:
    Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199' - URISyntaxException: 'Malformed IPv6 address at index 7: rmi://[127.0.0.1]:7199'
    NOTE: This step has no service interruption and can be safely performed at any time the snapshots are no longer needed. (Snapshots are need for possible restoration to a previous version).
