Upgrading the Snapshot Manager
For upgrading the Snapshot Manager server, you need to perform the steps from the Azure portal and the Azure marketplace deployment template.
Perform the following steps from the Azure portal:
Note:
Upgrading Snapshot Manager prior to version 10.3 to 10.4 is not supported via Azure marketplace. To upgrade Snapshot Manager to 10.4 version and later via Azure marketplace, first upgrade the Snapshot Manager to version 10.3 and then upgrade it to 10.4 and later versions.
Note the operating system of the Snapshot Manager instance in the Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS). It is required later in step 10.
Stop the existing Snapshot Manager VMSS. While stopping the VMSS select the option to reserve the public IP address, if associated.
Disassociate the public IP address of the Snapshot Manager VMSS instance, if associated. Also note the IP address name as it would be required later in step 14.
Detach the data disk. Note the data disk name as it would be required later in step 12.
Note the virtual machine name as it would be required later in step 9 (The one without -scale. For example if the VMSS name is NBSM-scale, then use only NBSM) and then delete the Snapshot Manager VMSS and the NBSM image. The image name would be same as VMSS name, replace '-scale' with '-image'.
If upgrading from Snapshot Manager version 10.2 and prior, note the username and password for Snapshot Manager before upgrading to version 10.3. These credentials are required to edit the Snapshot Manager from the NetBackup web UI after upgrade is complete.
Delete and purge the associated Snapshot Manager's key vault if it exists. Ensure that you purge the key vault after deletion as it would be in soft-delete state after deletion and may cause failure while upgrading. The key vault is not needed beyond the NetBackup10.4 release.
Perform the following steps from the NetBackup deployment template:
Select the Snapshot Manager only deployment.
Select the Resource Group and Region similar to the older Snapshot Manager deployment.
Use the Snapshot Manager VMSS name similar to the older Snapshot Manager virtual machine. It is the same virtual machine name as noted in step 5.
Select the operating system similar to the older Snapshot Manager VM that was noted in step 1.
Select for the Upgrade from an existing Snapshot Manager instance option.
Provide the data disk name that was detached in step 4.
Perform the deployment in the Virtual Network and Subnet similar to the older Snapshot Manager VMSS.
Assign the same public IP, if there was any IP associated earlier and was dissociated in step 2.
Click to start the Snapshot Manager upgrade process.
If the Snapshot Manager was registered with NetBackup version before 10.3, using NetBackup UI, edit the Snapshot Manager with the reissue token.
Note:
If Snapshot Manager was registered with NetBackup using the private IP address or an internal FQDN before upgrade, then ensure the same private IP address and internal FQDN are associated with the upgraded Snapshot Manager virtual machine.
