Performing an upgrade using GUI
Before you upgrade, complete the tasks described in See Performing pre-upgrade tasks.. If disaster recovery is configured for the cluster, review the guidelines specified in See Considerations for upgrade when disaster recovery is configured.
- Sign in to the NetBackup Flex Scale web UI, if not already done so.
- In the left pane click Cluster Management > Cluster settings > Software management
- On the Software management page click Software update.
- The upgrade file that is uploaded earlier is displayed under Downloaded package files and its status is displayed as Available. To view details about the upgrade file, click the file name.
- To start the upgrade, under Downloaded package files for the upgrade file, from the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) click Start upgrade.
Review the readme and click Next.
If you are upgrading from version 3.1 to 3.2.100, click Start upgrade to perform a parallel upgrade. If you are upgrading from version 3.2 to 3.2.100, select either rolling or parallel upgrade and click Start upgrade.
You can view the progress of the upgrade operation on the Software management page. To view detailed status, click View details.
After the upgrade is complete, a notification about successful upgrade is displayed on the top of the page. The version displayed on the page is updated to the newer version and the status of the package in the Downloaded package files changes to Installed.
If the upgrade fails on any one of the cluster nodes, message about successful rollback is displayed in the upgrade progress details and all the nodes in the cluster are automatically rolled back to the previous version. You can view the details about the failure by clicking View details. To troubleshoot any issues during an upgrade, you can download upgrade logs by going to Settings > Diagnostics and selecting the Upgrade component on the Basic tab.
