Upgrading MSDP Scaleout

You can upgrade the MSDP Scaleout solution to the latest version in your AKS environment.

To upgrade MSDP Scaleout

  1. Install the new kubectl plug-in and push the new docker images to your container registry.

    See Installing the docker images and binaries.

  2. Run the following command to upgrade the MSDP operator.

    kubectl msdp init -i <new-operator-image> -s <storage-class-name> -l agentpool=<nodepool-name> -n <operator-namespace>

    All the options except -i option must be same as earlier when the operator was deployed initially.

  3. Run the following command to change the spec.version in the existing CR resources.

    kubectl edit msdpscaleout <cr-name>

    Wait for a few minutes. MSDP operator upgrades all the pods and other MSDP Scaleout resources automatically.

    Note:

    If you use the environment operator for the MSDP Scaleout deployment, change the version string for MSDP Scaleout in the environment operator CR only. Do not change the version string in the MSDP Scaleout CR.

  4. Upgrade process restarts the pods. The NetBackup jobs are interrupted during the process.

Upgrade NetBackup 10.0, 10.0.0.1 or 10.1 to NetBackup 10.1.1

After you upgrade NetBackup 10.0 (10.0.0.1 or 10.1) to NetBackup 10.1.1 or MSDP Scaleout to 17.0, if you find the storage server not supporting Instant Access capability on Web UI, or if you fail to select MSSQL recovery point to create MSSQL Instant Access on Web UI, then perform the following steps manually to refresh the Instant Access capability in NetBackup.

  1. Login to NetBackup primary server.

  2. Execute the following commands to refresh the MSDP capabilities on NetBackup primary server:

    nbdevconfig -getconfig

    nbdevconfig -setconfig

    For example,

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -getconfig -stype PureDisk -storage_server [storage server] > /tmp/tmp_pd_config_file

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -setconfig -storage_server [storage server] -stype PureDisk -configlist /tmp/tmp_pd_config_file

  3. Restart the NetBackup Web Management Console service (nbwmc) on NetBackup primary server.

    For example,

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc terminate

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc start
