Updating an application add-on to a newer revision
Periodically, new revisions of application add-ons are released to address security updates. When a new revision is released, it is posted on the Download Center with a new file name that includes the revision number after the version.
For example, the file VRTSflex-nb_EEB_ET4070421-10.0-9.x86_64.rpm indicates that the version is 10.0, and the revision number is 9.
You can view the revision numbers of your add-ons on the Application add-ons page of the Repository.
Use the following procedure to update an application add-on to a newer revision.
To update an add-on to a newer revision
- Add the new revision of the add-on to the repository.
Note:
If the instance that has the add-on installed has a replica, make sure that the new revision is also in the repository on the remote appliance.
- Restart the instance that has the add-on installed.
Note:
If you have more than one instance that has the add-on installed, they all get updated to the newer revision the next time they are restarted or if you change the replication role for remote replication.
