Upgrading NetBackup Snapshot Manager
The following procedures describe how to upgrade your NetBackup Snapshot Manager deployment. During the upgrade, you replace the container that runs your current version of NetBackup Snapshot Manager with a newer container.
To upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager server in Podman/Docker environment
- Download the NetBackup Snapshot Manager upgrade installer.
On the NetBackup Snapshot Manager download page, click Download Now to download the NetBackup Snapshot Manager installer.
The NetBackup Snapshot Manager software components are available in a package form. The file name has the following format:
NetBackup_SnapshotManager_<version>.tar.gzNote:
The actual file name may vary depending on the release version.
- Copy the downloaded compressed image file to the computer on which you want to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager.
- Un-tar the image file and list the contents:
# ls NetBackup_SnapshotManager_10.1.1.0.xxxx.tar.gz netbackup-flexsnap-10.1.1.0.xxxx.tar.gz flexsnap_preinstall.sh
- Run the following command to prepare the NetBackup Snapshot Manager host for installation:
# sudo ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh
The output resembles the following:
Executing the following changes on this node to prepare the
NetBackup Snapshot Manager for installation: 1) Validate SELINUX 2) Loading Snapshot Manager service images. - Verify that there are no protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress and then stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager by running the following command:
For Podman
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<current_version> stopFor Docker
# docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/docker/docker.sock:/run/docker/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<current_version> stopHere, current_version represents the currently installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager version.
Note:
Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
The NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers are stopped one by one. Messages similar to the following appear on the command line:
Stopping the services Stopping container: flexsnap-core-system-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core-indexing-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core-general-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-nginx ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-scheduler ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-idm ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-core ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-api-gateway ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-certauth ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-rabbitmq ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-mongodb ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done
Wait for all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers to be stopped and then proceed to the next step.
- Depending on the environment, upgrade NetBackup Snapshot Manager by running the following command:
For Podman
# podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> installFor an unattended installation, use the following command:
# podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install -yFor Docker
# sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> installFor an unattended installation, use the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<new_version> install -y
Here, new_version represents the NetBackup Snapshot Manager version you are upgrading to, for example '10.1.1.0.xxxxx'
The -y option passes an approval for all the subsequent installation prompts and allows the installer to proceed in a non-interactive mode.
Note:
Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
- The installer first loads the individual service images and then launches them in their respective containers.
The output resembles the following, here as an example the Podman environment output is provided:

- (Optional) Run the following command to remove the previous version images.
(For Podman) # podman rmi -f <imagename>:<oldimage_tagid>
(For Docker) # docker rmi -f <imagename>:<oldimage_tagid>
