Upgrading the Linux mount proxy feature from an older version
If the mount proxy feature is already installed on the Linux® virtual machine, you can upgrade to the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Version 8.1.11 Linux mount proxy.
Before you begin
Ensure that the version of the Linux mount proxy that you are upgrading to is the same as the version of the Windows mount proxy. For example, if the Windows mount proxy is at V8.1.11, the Linux mount proxy must also be at V8.1.11.
If you are upgrading from the V8.1.4 Linux mount proxy, you must first uninstall the Linux mount proxy. You can uninstall the V8.1.4 Linux mount proxy by issuing the following commands:
rpm -e TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64 TIVsm-BA.x86_64
rpm -e TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64 TIVsm-API64.x86_64
rpm -e gskcrypt64.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64.linux.x86_64If you are upgrading from V8.1.6, you do not need to uninstall the Linux mount proxy.
Procedure
What to do next
After the upgrade, you do not need to reset the Linux mount proxy password as long as you do not relaunch the configuration wizard from the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console on the Hyper-V host, or delete the encrypted password files in the /etc/adsm directory.
You also do not need to restart the Linux system after the upgrade. Simply issue the kill -9 command to stop any existing active dsmcad process. Then, restart the dsmcad process to start the client acceptor for V8.1.11.
