Upgrade Awesome Miner in Client-Server environments
When Awesome Miner is used in a Client-Server environment the upgrades should be performed in the following order:
- Upgrade one of the clients first
- Upgrade the server
- Upgrade any Remote Agents
- Upgrade each of the remaining clients once they reconnect to the server
The steps above are explained in more detail below
1) Upgrade the client via the Awesome Miner application. Follow the steps in the previous section (Upgrade Awesome Miner) to upgrade via Menu -> Check for updates. The client will be upgraded and restarted, showing the sign in dialog after the restart.
2) Sign in to the server. At this point Awesome Miner will indicate that the server is running an older version.
Click the Upgrade button to initiate an upgrade to the latest version on the server. Wait for 1 - 2 minutes (note: there will not be any message indicating when the server upgrade has finalized) - then try to sign in again. This time the client will successfully connect to the server and launch the user interface
3) In case the Awesome Miner Remote Agent is being used it must also be upgraded to the latest version. See the next section (Upgrade Remote Agent) for details.
4) In step #1, one of the clients were upgraded to the latest version. In case there are multiple client installations of Awesome Miner, each of them will have to be upgraded to the latest version. When a client is running an older version than the server it will be indicated during the sign in process as illustrated below. Click Upgrade to upgrade the client to the latest version.
Note: Awesome Miner will always look for and install the latest version when performing an upgrade. In case the latest version is 10.3 while the server is running 10.2 and the client is running 10.1 - the client will indicate than an upgrade of the client is required during the sign in process. The client will be upgraded to version 10.3. Next time the client is signing in, it will indicate that the server must be upgraded as well, from 10.2 to 10.3.
Upgrade Remote Agent
The Remote Agent application can also be upgraded via the Awesome Miner user interface. This upgrade can be performed for both the scenario where Remote Agent is being used for GPU/CPU mining and when being used as a Remote Proxy for ASIC miners.
In case the Remote Agent version is older than the current Awesome Miner version, the "Old version" message will be indicated in the Status column for the miner.
In order to perform an upgrade, select a miner and click on Upgrade Remote Agent once in the Awesome Miner toolbar. This will initiate the upgrade process. Please wait for 1 - 2 minutes to let the upgrade finalize. Note that no upgrade progress will be displayed. Once finalized the message about "Old version" will no longer be displayed.
