  2. Upload the local binary to MySQL database for preservation:

    deepflow-ctl repo agent create --arch x86 --image /usr/sbin/deepflow-agent
    1

    If the same file name binary is uploaded multiple times, it will be overwritten; the uploaded binary will be compressed with a compression ratio of about 3.4.

  3. View the packages in the repository:

    deepflow-ctl repo agent list
    1

  4. Execute the upgrade:

    OUTPUT=$(deepflow-ctl agent list | head -n 1)
if [[ $OUTPUT == "VTAP_ID"* ]]; then
   for AGENT in $(deepflow-ctl agent list | grep -E " CHOST_[VB]M " | awk '{print $2}')
   do
      deepflow-ctl agent-upgrade $AGENT --image-name=deepflow-agent
   done
else
   for AGENT in $(deepflow-ctl agent list | grep -E " CHOST_[VB]M " | awk '{print $1}')
