Upgrade in Podman environment
To upgrade CloudPoint server in Podman environment
- Download the CloudPoint upgrade installer.
On the CloudPoint download page, click Download Now to download the CloudPoint installer.
The CloudPoint software components are available in the form of images which are packaged in a compressed file. The file name has the following format:
Veritas_CloudPoint_9.x.x.x.x.tar.gz
Example: Veritas_CloudPoint_9.1.0.0.9349.tar.gz
- Copy the downloaded compressed image file to the computer on which you want to deploy CloudPoint.
- Unzip and un-tar the image file and list the contents:
# gunzip
VRTScloudpoint-podman-9.1.0.0.9349.tar.gz# tar -xvf
VRTScloudpoint-podman-9.1.0.0.9349.tarThe output resembles the following:

- Run the following command to prepare the CloudPoint host for installation:
# ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh
The output resembles the following:
Executing the following changes on this node to prepare the CloudPoint server for installation: 1) Loading CloudPoint service images. 2) Copying dnsname plugin to the /usr/libexec/cni folder. 3) Check if dnsmasq rpm is installed on the host, if not, installation is done automatically. 4) Creating and starting the systemd service for the Podman API server.

- Verify that there are no protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress and then stop CloudPoint by running the following command:
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<current_version> stopHere, current_version represents the currently installed CloudPoint version, for example '9.0.0.0.9234'
Note:
Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
The CloudPoint containers are stopped one by one. Messages similar to the following appear on the command line:
Stopping the services Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-system-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-indexing-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-workflow-general-0-0 ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-listener ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-nginx ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-notification ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-policy ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-scheduler ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-idm ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-onhostagent ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-agent ...done Stopping container: flexsnap-coordinator ...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 CloudPoint containers to be stopped and then proceed to the next step.
- Upgrade CloudPoint by running the following command:
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<new_version> installFor an unattended installation, use the following command:
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<new_version> install -yHere, new_version represents the CloudPoint version you are upgrading to, for example '9.1.0.0.9349'
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.
