Problem Description
The upgrade guide contains obsolete information.
For example, most of the section about Upgrading legacy installation is not relevant:
- GlassFish currently supports upgrading only using the
asadmin start-domain --upgrade command, which is roughly equivalent to the asupgrade command mentioned in the guide. The section To Upgrade From the Command Line Using Upgrade Tool could be modified to replace asupgrade command references to asadmin start-domain --upgrade and adjust the guide for it (for example, there's no support for specifying source domain directory, the start-domain --upgrade tool currently updates the existing domain, it won't copy domain from another directory. This must be done manually before running the command
- All references to GUI tools, like Update Tool, Software Update Notifier, or the Upgrade Tool GUI mode should be removed. References to the Upgrade Tool in Console mode (-c argument) should be replaced by
asadmin start-domain --upgrade as described in the previous point
- Parts about upgrading remote instances in a cluster are still relevant but may need to be adjusted
- Optionally, the guide can describe how to use the domain backup and restore commands to copy domain from an older installation to a newer installations.
