Upgrading NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center

The following procedures describe how to upgrade your NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center deployment. During the upgrade, you replace the container that runs your current version of NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center with a newer container.

To upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center server in Podman/Docker environment

  1. Download the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center upgrade installer.

    On the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center download page, click Download Now to download the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center installer.

    The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center software components are available in a package form. The file name has the following format:

    NetBackup_SnapshotManager_<version>.tar.gz

    Note:

    The actual file name may vary depending on the release version.

  2. Copy the downloaded compressed image file to the computer on which you want to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center.
  3. Un-tar the image file and list the contents:
    # ls
NetBackup_SnapshotManager_10.4.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz
netbackup-flexsnap-10.4.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz
flexsnap_preinstall.sh
  4. Run the following command to prepare the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center host for installation:

    # sudo ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh

    The output resembles the following:

    For Podman

    # ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh 
Checking for disk space                  ...  done
Checking for swap space                  ...  done
Validate host resources                  ...  done
Validate SELINUX                         ...  done
Check for podman installation            ...  done
Validate podman version support          ...  done
Check for podman socket file             ...  done
Checking for required packages           ...  done

Check for docker socket file             ...  done
Checking for required packages           ...  done
Validate required services health        ...  done
Loading Snapshot Manager service images  ...  done
Copying flexsnap_configure script        ...  done
  5. Verify that there are no policies with snapshot or other operations in progress and then stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center by running the following command:

    Using the flexsnap_configure CLI, run: # flexsnap_configure stop

    The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers are stopped one by one. Messages similar to the following appear on the command line:

    Stopping the services
Stopping services at time: Wed Jan  3 06:12:52 UTC 2024
Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-system-0-min ...done
Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-general-0-min ...done
