Data Collector Upgrades
IMPORTANT: The Data Collector aptare.jar may not upgrade automatically. Use the following criteria to determine if you need to upgrade each Data Collector. [18871]
Step 1: Verify if a Data Collector aptare.jar Upgrade is Required
Current Portal Version | Current aptare.jar | 9.2 Upgrade Requirement |
9.0.00 | any | |
9.0.01 | 9.0.1.01 | |
9.0.01 | 9.0.1.02 | |
9.0.01 | 9.0.1.03 | No Data Collector aptare.jar upgrade is required. The correct 9.2 aptare.jar will be applied if automatic upgrades are configured. |
9.0.02 | any | No Data Collector aptare.jar upgrade is required. The correct 9.2 aptare.jar will be applied if automatic upgrades are configured. |
* Once you’ve upgraded your Data Collector to aptare.jar version 9.0.1.03, the automatic upgrader will work as expected, provided you have configured automatic upgrades, as described in “Managing and Monitoring Data Collection” in the APTARE StorageConsole User’s Guide.
Step 2: Upgrade the Data Collector aptare.jar
Choose one of the following options to upgrade a Data Collector. Only one of these options should be executed.
Option 1: First upgrade the Data Collector to the latest aptare.jar version (9.0.1.03) and then upgrade the Portal to version 9.2. After the upgrade, the correct 9.2 aptare.jar will be applied if automatic upgrades are configured.
Option 2: After the Portal has been upgraded to 9.2, any version of the 9.x Data Collector can be upgraded manually using the <HOME>/mbs/bin/downloadlib.sh or <HOME>\mbs\bin\downloadlib.bat script.
Manual Download of the aptare.jar File
Use the following procedure to manually update your Data Collector if:
• Automatic updates have not been enabled via the Upgrade Manager.
• For some reason, the automatic update failed.
• You simply want to manually update Data Collectors.
1. Use the downloadlib utility to manually download the aptare.jar file. Note that this utility must be run with administrative privileges.
Windows: <Home>\mbs\bin\downloadlib.bat
Linux: <Home>/mbs/bin/downloadlib.sh
2. If you run the downloadlib utility and you get the following message, it indicates that the restore failed or is in progress: Restore has been running for more than 10 minutes, unable to proceed with collector upgrade.
To proceed, delete the restore.txt file and re-run downloadlib.
Windows: <Home>\upgrade\restore.txt
Linux: <Home>/upgrade/restore.txt
Note: When the Data Collector is upgraded via the automatic update, if you run downloadlib within 3 minutes of the automatic update completion time, it will take 3 minutes before downloadlib starts the update.
Data Collector Upgrade Requirements for APTARE StorageConsole 10.0.xx
For performance reasons, APTARE recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the StorageConsole Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.
