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
- 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.gzNote:
The actual file name may vary depending on the release version.
- Copy the downloaded compressed image file to the computer on which you want to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center.
- Un-tar the image file and list the contents:
# ls NetBackup_SnapshotManager_xx.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz netbackup-flexsnap-10.4.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz flexsnap_preinstall.sh
- 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 Validate required services health ... done Removing deprecated services ... done Loading Snapshot Manager service images ... done Loading SELinux policy for containers ... done Copying flexsnap_configure script ... done
For Docker
# ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh 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
- 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 Stopping container: flexsnap-listener ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-nginx ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-notification ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-policy ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-scheduler ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-onhostagent ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-agent ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-coordinator ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-api-gateway ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-certauth ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-rabbitmq ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-postgresql ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done Stopping services completed at time: Wed Jan 3 06:13:24 UTC 2024
Wait for all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers to be stopped and then proceed to the next step.
- Upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center using the flexsnap_configure CLI, run: # flexsnap_configure install
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:
