  • Node Upgrade
  1. Administration

Upgrade

Before every update, check the version of installed packages. The database version is particularly important.

yum info vprotect-server vprotect-node mariadb-server
# Or
rpm -qa | egrep -e "vprotect|Maria"

If the host computer has an Internet connection, use the yum command - you'll also see the new package versions provided by the repositories.

Server Upgrade

  • Make sure you have the Storware Backup & Recovery database backup.

    • You can use this command manually to back it up on-demand on the Storware Backup & Recovery Server:/opt/vprotect/server/scripts/backup_db.sh /path/to/backup/file.sql.gz

  • If Storware Backup & Recovery was installed on a virtual machine (not a physical one), it would be a good move to take a snapshot.

  • After backing up the database, we should carefully stop the Storware Backup & Recovery service to make sure that we don't have any tasks running (a running task may cause problems updating the database).

    • View all tasks, if you see even one on the list, clear it (wait for the ongoing tasks to finish)

    • You can do this from the WebUI (it's faster)

  • Now, if you don't have any tasks on the list, you can stop the service.

[root@vprotect ~]# systemctl disable vprotect-server --now
  • To make sure that no scheduler has started a task before stopping the service, let's query the database.

    • If the table is not empty, start the Storware Backup & Recovery-Server service and clear the tasks again.

mysql -u root -p -e "Select * FROM vprotect.task;"
  • Make sure you have MariaDB up-to-date - currently Storware Backup & Recovery by default uses version 10.11, while 10.6 is the minimum version supported.

    • Otherwise, minor MariaDB versions should be updated with yum update

    • rpm -e --nodeps "MariaDB-server-YOUR_VERSION_OF_PACKAGE"

    • Update the MariaDB repository to the correct version vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

    • Install the new MariaDB-Server yum install -y mariadb-server

    • Update all other components of MariaDB yum update -y mariadb

    • Start the MariaDB engine systemctl enable mariadb --now

    • Run mysql_upgrade to update the Storware Backup & Recovery Database mysql_upgrade --user=root --password

  • If the database update is successful, now we can start with the Storware Backup & Recovery Update. Make sure you configure our new repository for Storware Backup & Recovery - new base URL:

Note: use one of this URL's

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/vProtect.repo

  • Update the Server (it may take a while, the service is being restarted):

    yum -y update vprotect-server
  • If the server service was not running before update, you may also need to execute:

    systemctl enable vprotect-server --now

Node Upgrade

  1. Update each Node:

    systemctl stop vprotect-node
    yum -y update vprotect-node
  2. Run the script to configure the OS for Node:

    vprotect-node-configure
  3. If the node service was not running before the update, you may also need to execute:

    systemctl enable vprotect-node --now
  4. Log in to the web UI and check if the nodes are running.

Note: You may need to refresh your browser cache after update:

Chrome use CTRL+SHIFT+R (Windows/Linux) / CMD+SHIFT+R (MacOS)
