Upgrading Data Protection for VMware
This procedure documents how to upgrade to Data Protection for VMware V7.1.6.
Before you begin
Important: This upgrade procedure applies to a
system that does not have Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for VMware installed.
You must have administrator privileges to upgrade Data Protection for VMware.
Updates
to the existing Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI are
processed in the following manner:
- Parameter files are backed up before the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI upgrade process begins.
- The same Derby Database Port and WebSphere® Application Server Default Base Port numbers are used.
The values in the profile (vmcliprofile) are used for the Data Protection for VMware command-line interface.
Restriction:
When Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments was installed to a non-default location, the upgrade process installs Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments V7.1.6 features to the default installation directory. You cannot upgrade to a non-default location. See the subtopics in Installable components for the default installation directories for each feature.
The upgrade process does not install new components.
For example, if your previous version has only the Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent GUI installed, the upgrade procedure does not install the Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent command-line interface. In such a scenario, you must run the installation program again and then select the missing component to install.
The Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent on Linux version must be the same version as the Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent on the Windows proxy. Therefore, if you upgrade Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent on Linux, you must also upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager recovery agent version on the Windows proxy.
