Updating the Cyber Recovery software and the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance

Use the crsetup.sh setup script to update the Cyber Recovery software.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you satisfy all system requirements (see Getting Started and Preparing to update the Cyber Recovery software).

    To verify that the prerequisite software is installed, run the following command: 

    # ./crsetup.sh --check
  • Run a preupdate check to ensure readiness for the software update: 
    # ./crsetup.sh --upgcheck
  • Ensure that you have saved a data backup copy outside of the Cyber Recovery server.

About this task

  • Updates have no effect on existing assets, policies, and other Cyber Recovery objects.
  • If your current environment includes a version 19.3 Cyber Recovery virtual appliance deployment, it is highly recommended that you apply the optional Cyber Recovery virtual appliance security patches. Apply the patches before or after you update to Cyber Recovery version 19.4 or later.

Steps

  1. Log in to the management host as root.
  2. Download the Cyber Recovery update package to a directory with approximately 1.5 GB of free space.
  3. Untar the file: 
    # tar -xzvf <file name>
    The file is untarred to the staging directory (within the current directory). The extraction includes the crsetup.sh setup script.
  4. Go to the staging directory: 
    # cd staging
    Cyber Recovery vault
  5. Begin the update: 
    # ./crsetup.sh --upgrade
  6. At the prompt, indicate that you want to continue the update.
    NOTE

    For a Cyber Recovery software update only, if you are upgrading from Version 19.1 to Version 19.3, the update procedure attempts to create a Linux user (cyber-recovery-admin) on the management host in the Cyber Recovery vault. It assigns a reserved UID:GID of 14999 to the cyber-recovery-admin user. This user owns specific installation directories.

    If the reserved UID:GID 14999 is assigned to another user or the cyber-recovery-admin user exists but is not assigned the reserved UID:GID 14999, the update procedure issues a warning message. Otherwise, the update procedure continues.

  7. For a Cyber Recovery software update only, if you are upgrading from Version 19.1 to Version 19.3, and the update procedure displays a warning about creating the cyber-recovery-admin user, indicate if you want to continue or cancel the update.
    If you complete the update, the Cyber Recovery software operates correctly, however, a non-cyber-recovery-admin user might own some installation directories.
  8. When prompted, enter the MongoDB password.
  9. When prompted, enter the lockbox passphrase.
    The update proceeds and starts the Cyber Recovery system.
  10. If you are upgrading a pre-Version 19.11 Cyber Recovery virtual appliance, and if you have not already done so, update the security patches and base operating system components. .
    NOTE These update patches are for the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance only.
