Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

Preparing to upgrade CloudPoint

Note the following before you upgrade

  • Ensure that the CloudPoint instance, virtual machine, or physical host meets the requirements of the CloudPoint version 8.3.

    See Meeting system requirements.

  • When you upgrade CloudPoint, all the snapshot data and configuration data from your previous version is maintained in the external /cloudpoint data volume. This information is external to the CloudPoint container and the image and is preserved during the upgrade.

    However, you can take a backup of all the data in the /cloudpoint volume, if desired.

    See Backing up CloudPoint.
