Hi,

Please find the following links for 7.4 client downloads:

Upgrade Client Downloads:

ftp://avamar_ftp:anonymous@ftp.emc.com/autoupdate/EMCRepository/nE3upruMaspUs5/UpgradeClientDownloads-7.4.1-58.avp

Upgrade the Server Catalog only:

ftp://avamar_ftp:anonymous@ftp.emc.com/autoupdate/EMCRepository/nE3upruMaspUs5/UpgradeClientPluginCatalog-7.4.1-58.avp

To perform catalog upgrade on the Avamar server - recommended to be done out of the backup window and while not backups are scheduled to run:

1-Download the required package from the URL.

2-Login to the Avamar Server Utility node using the WinSCP tool and copy the downloaded package to the “/data01/avamar/repo/packages” directory.

3-If the ftp access to the Avamar server is allowed, it is possible to download the package directly using the following two commands after logging to the Avamar server using a putty session; otherwise skip to step#4:

cd /data01/avamar/repo/packages

curl -O -v  “URL”

4-Open the following URL in the Web Browser:  http:// /avi.

5-Type the Avamar administrator user account in the User Name field and the password in the Password field, Click Log On.

6-Click System Maintenance, the SW Updates and History tabs appear, click it.

7-On the SW Updates tab, click the Install button.

Note:

If you installed the UpgradeClientDownloads package then there will be no need to install the UpgradeClientPluginCatalog one; UpgradeClientPluginCatalog is only needed if you want to upgrade the catalog version while still having the old version packages exist in the download page; in this case you will need to contact Avamar support to provide the specific client/plugin packages upon needed.

Appreciate your update and feedback if this was helpful to solve the problem; don't forget to mark the question as answered when the problem is solved.

Quick Question - Any reason why I would be missing the admin console for 7.4 after installing the Upgrade Client Downloads for 7.4? Does the console only become available after the Avamar is upgraded to 7.4 or should it be available after upgrade the client downloads page? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

FYI - Current Avamar server version is 7.3.

The appropriate admin console installer will be installed when the system is upgraded to 7.4. The 7.4 console won't work with a 7.3 server anyway.
