Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Upgrade Guide
Downloading software updates directly to a NetBackup appliance
Use the following procedure to download a software release update to an appliance using the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
For high availability (HA) setups, you only need to download the package to one node. After you complete the package download on the first node, see step 4 for details to make the package available on the other node.
To download software release updates directly onto the appliance
- Open an SSH session and log on to the appliance as an administrator using the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
- To determine if a software update is available from the Veritas Support website, enter the following command:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > List AvailablePatch
- To download an available appliance software update, enter the following command:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > Download VRTS_NBAPP_update-<release-version>.x86_64.rpm
Where release is the software release number and version is the version number of the software release. For example:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > Download VRTS_NBAPP_update-5.3.x86_64.rpm
- To verify that the rpm has downloaded successfully, enter the following command:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > List Downloaded
After you run this command on the HA node with the downloaded package, run the command on the other node to make it available on that node.
