Upgrading Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware and Data Protection for VMware

You can upgrade your system from a previous version of Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for VMware to version 4.1.4. You must also upgrade Data Protection for VMware to version 7.1.4, if this version is not installed. Both products must be upgraded together to ensure that all components are compatible.

Before you begin

Download the image from IBM® Passport Advantage® or insert the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware DVD into the DVD drive.

Procedure

Log in to the vStorage backup server by using the root user ID. The vStorage backup server is either a virtual machine or a physical Linux system.
Start the upgrade by entering the following command:
```
./4.1.4.0-TIV-TSFCM-VMware.bin
```
On the Introduction page, click Next.
Read and accept the terms of the software license agreement and click Next.
An upgrade installation message is displayed that prompts you to verify the upgrade location. Click OK.
Review the preinstallation summary. After you verify that the information is correct, click Next to start the upgrade process.
After the upgrade finishes, a message is displayed that prompts you to upgrade Data Protection for VMware and Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client (data mover) packages.

What to do next

After the upgrade, you must set up your environment and upgrade all components from the Data Protection for VMware package:

Optional: To enforce SP 800-131A compliant encryption, during the configuration of Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware, you must set the ENFORCE_TLS12 parameter to YES by running the setup script in advanced mode. This step requires that the certificate must meet the requirements as specified in SP 800-131A standard. You must delete any self-signed certificates that were created by Version 3.2 or earlier to allow Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware to create new self-signed certificates. To remove the existing self-signed certificates from the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware installation directory, issue the following command:
```
rm fcmcert.*
```
To create new self-signed certificates, you can run the setup script. Alternatively, from the GUI start the configuration wizard and follow the instructions to complete the entire configuration process to create new self-signed certificates. The new self-signed certificates can be used regardless of whether the ENFORCE_TLS12 parameter is enabled or not. However, to set the ENFORCE_TLS12 parameter to YES you must run the setup script in advanced mode ./setup.sh -advanced. At any time, it is possible to delete the self-signed certificates and generate new certificates.
Note: Deleting the certificates does not apply to certificate authority (CA) signed certificates. The signed certificate can be from an internal or external CA. The signed certificate must comply with the standard as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-131 standard encryption. This standard requires longer key lengths and stronger cryptographic algorithms. The minimum requirement is key size = 2048 bits and signature algorithm = RSA with SHA224 or higher. If the current CA signed certificates does not meet these requirements, you must update them.
After the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware upgrade is complete, you must run the ./setup.sh script or from the GUI use the configuration wizard to configure the profile file.
For Version 3.2 or earlier, if you do not configure the profile after the upgrade, remove the USE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP parameter in the profile file by using a text editor. This parameter must be removed to avoid errors when you run Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware. To avoid potential errors, the preferred method is to run the ./setup.sh script or from the GUI use the configuration wizard.
If Data Protection for VMware V6.2, V6.3 or V6.4 is installed, upgrade to version 7.1.4. For information about how to upgrade, see Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments documentation .
You must upgrade all data mover nodes to Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client 7.1.4 level. For information about how to upgrade the data mover nodes, see Upgrading the data mover nodes on the vStorage Backup Server .
