Version: DPX 4.16

Command Line Update

With version 4.16, Catalogic introduces a unified update .ISO image together with an update script. Now, you can dowload the update .ISO file and the update script from the Catalogic MySupport website to your environment only once and then use it locally to update:

DPX Master Server
DPX Backup Appliance
vStor
DPX Proxy Server

Note.

This method updates the DPX Master Server’s Core, Microservices and Infrastructure.

Since DPX 4.16, it can also be used to update DPX Proxy Server.

It does not update individual DPX Clients.

Important.

Before running the DPX update script, take a full VM snapshot of the machine you are about to update.

The procedure described below assumes the latest available version of the Catalogic DPX suite is 4.16. Always check MySupport for the latest version. It is also assumed that the catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.sh and the catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.iso files have been downloaded or otherwise sent to the machine to be updated, into the same location.

Log in to your machine via SSH.
- The login for DPX Master Server and DPX Proxy Server is dpxadmin and the default password is dpxadmin.
- The login for vStor is admin and the default password is admin.

If you logged into the same Master Server or Proxy Server in the past, you may have been forced to change the password. In such case, provide the current password, not the default one.

PS C:\Users\i_am_the_admin_here> ssh dpxadmin@172.20.4.110
dpxadmin@172.20.4.110's password:

Use sudo su to gain root user permissions.
Change permissions to the catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.sh file:
```
chmod +x <file_path>/catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.sh
```

Call the catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.sh script, specifying the catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.iso image file as the argument:

 ./catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.sh catalogic-unified-updater-4.16.iso

In DPX Master Server, the following prompt will appear:

==> Log file is in /tmp/3615430.update.log
 
Catalogic Software recommends that no backup or recovery jobs are running during the update process and that a full virtual machine snapshot before running the upgrade process is taken. Are no backup or recovery jobs currently running and has a snapshot been taken (Yes/No)?

If you have no jobs running and wish to proceed with the update process, type Yes.
The update procedure will start. This process may take a long while to complete. Some progress steps will be printed in the terminal.
Upon completion, the installer will ask if you want to reboot your master server.
Select Y to reboot the master server now or N to do it later.
This ends the updating procedure. Wait for your updated DPX Master Server to reboot, then you can resume using it.
