Manually upgrading the IT Analytics Data Collector

If the IT Analytics Data Collector version is 11.1.51, then you must manually upgrade the Data Collector.

To determine the Data Collector version, review the version.txt file that is found in:

  • Linux: /usr/openv/analyticscollector/upgrade/version.txt

  • Windows: install_path\analyticscollector\upgrade\version.txt

Manually upgrade the Data Collector if the version shown is 11.1.51.

More information is available to determine the Data Collector version:

To manually upgrade the Data Collector on Linux:

  1. Log on to the Data Collector server as root.
  2. Run the command shown:

    /usr/openv/analyticscollector/mbs/bin/downloadlib.sh

  3. The Data Collector is upgraded.

To manually upgrade the Data Collector on Windows:

  1. Log on to the Data Collector server.
  2. Open a command prompt as the Administrator.
  3. Run the command shown:

    install_path\AnalyticsCollector\mbs\bin\downloadlib.bat

  4. The Data Collector is upgraded.

After you successfully configure the Data Collector with an on-premises based IT Analytics Portal or Cohesity Alta Analytics, the web portal automatic upgrade mechanism upgrades the Data Collector after communication is established. The NetBackup installer does not upgrade the Data Collector. If NetBackup finds a previous version of the Data Collector that is not configured, the installation process removes it and installs the newer version.

If you disable the automatic upgrade mechanism for any reason, you must manually upgrade the Data Collector with every upgrade of the IT Analytics Portal. The upgrade is required to ensure that the Data Collector version is the same as the IT Analytics Portal version.
