Upgrading IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on a backup or clone server

Edit online

Backup and clone instances must always be kept on the same IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot version and level. When you upgrade the software on the production server, you must upgrade the corresponding backup or clone servers.

Procedure

  1. Install IBM Storage Protect Snapshot.
    This procedure is described in Installing in interactive mode.
  2. Activate the backup or clone instance.
    This procedure is described in Activating an instance.

What to do next

Typically, it is not necessary to run the setup script on a backup or clone server after the initial configuration. Some exceptions to this rule require a reconfiguration of IBM Storage Protect Snapshot. These exceptions are as follows.
  • If any changes were made to the production server or to the port of the management agent, a reconfiguration of IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the backup server is required.
  • If any changes were made to the device classes.
  • If self-signed certificates are used and were changed. All changes to the certificates require a reconfiguration of the backup server. To do this reconfiguration, you must copy the fcmselfcert.arm file from the production server before you run the setup script.
In all cases, you must copy the <ACS_DIR>/shared directory from the production server to the backup or clone server that is being configured.
