Upgrading NetBackup Snapshot Manager

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

To upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager server in Podman/Docker environment

  1. Download the NetBackup Snapshot Manager upgrade installer.

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

    The NetBackup Snapshot Manager 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.
  3. Un-tar the image file and list the contents:
    # ls
NetBackup_SnapshotManager_11.0.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz
netbackup-flexsnap-11.0.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz
flexsnap_preinstall.sh
  4. Run the following command to prepare the NetBackup Snapshot Manager host for installation:

    # sudo ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh

    The output resembles the following:

    For Podman

    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
Validate required services health        ...  done
Removing deprecated services             ...  done

Creating nbsvcusr user and group         ...  done
Loading CIL policy for containers        ...  done
Copying flexsnap_configure script        ...  done

    For Docker

    Checking for disk space                  ...  done
Checking for swap space                  ...  done
Validate host resources                  ...  done
Check for docker installation            ...  done
Validate docker version support          ...  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 protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress and then stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager by running the following command:

    # flexsnap_configure stop

    Note:

    Veritas recommends the use of flexsnap_configure CLI for Snapshot Manager installation. Snapshot Manager installation through docker/podman CLI is deprecated for non RHEL 8/9 and dropped for RHEL 8/9.

    Or

    Use the following equivalent docker/podman command to stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager:

    • For Podman 

      # sudo podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock 
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<current_version> stop

    • For Docker 

      # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /run/docker/docker.sock:/run/docker/docker.sock 
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<current_version> stop

    Here, current_version represents the currently installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager version.

    Note:

    Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

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

    Stopping the services
Stopping services at time: Mon Jul 31 12:49:01 UTC 2023
Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-system-0-min ...done
Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-general-0-min ...done

Stopping container: flexsnap-rabbitmq ...done
Stopping container: flexsnap-postgresql ...done
Stopping container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done
Stopping services completed at time: Mon Jul 31 12:49:21 UTC 2023

    Wait for all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers to be stopped and then proceed to the next step.

  6. Upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager by running the following command:

    flexsnap_configure install

    Note:

    Veritas recommends the use of flexsnap_configure CLI for Snapshot Manager installation. Snapshot Manager installation through docker/podman CLI is deprecated for non RHEL 8/9 and dropped for RHEL 8/9.

    Or

    Use the following equivalent docker/podman command to upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager:

    • For Podman

      # podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint
-v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install

      For an unattended installation, use the following command:

      # podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint
-v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock 
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install -y

    • For Docker

      # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install

      For an unattended installation, use the following command:

      # sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install -y

    Here, new_version represents the NetBackup Snapshot Manager version you are upgrading to, for example '11.0.x.x-xxxx'

    The -y option passes an approval for all the subsequent installation prompts and allows the installer to proceed in a non-interactive mode.

    Note:

    Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

    The installer first loads the individual service images and then launches them in their respective containers.

    The output resembles the following (Below is an example of the Podman environment output:
