Installing a patch and upgrading an IBM Storage Defender Data Protect cluster

Upgrading an IBM Storage Defender Data Protect cluster takes the cluster from one maintenance level to another maintenance level.
Patches, which are also referred to as modification packs, are urgent fixes. A patch keeps the cluster on the same maintenance level but just replaces some binaries. Patches are rolled up cumulatively into the next maintenance level.
 

  • Installing a patch on an IBM Storage Defender Data Protect cluster
    Patches, which are also referred to as modification packs, bring your cluster up to the current maintenance level.
     

    To install a patch on a Data Protect cluster, complete the following steps:

    1. Download the patch files from Fix Central.
    2. Upload the patch files to the Data Protect management interface:
      1. Log in to the Data Protect management interface, and specify the login credentials for a cluster admin user.
      2. Navigate to Settings > Software Update.
      3. On the Product Patches tab, click the Upload Patch File button.
      4. Click Select file, and select one of the patch files that you downloaded in step 1. Click Upload.
      5. After the file upload is complete, repeat steps 2.c and 2.d to upload all of the patch files that you want to install.  You must upload each patch file individually.
    3. Apply the patch files to the cluster:
      Note: Patch file updates are nondisruptive, and you will not be required to restart the cluster after the patches are installed.
      1. Verify that all of the patch files are successfully uploaded and listed under Available Patches.
      2. Click the Apply All button. A message is displayed indicating that the maintenance patch is being applied, and progress bars indicate the installation status for each patch file.
    4. When the installation process is complete, the patch files are listed under Applied Patches.

  • Installing a CVE patch on an IBM Storage Defender Data Protect cluster
    The IBM Storage Defender CVE patch utilize the BaseOS patch within the software bundle to hold the CVE and related security fixes. BaseOS patch might contain critical CVE fixes, kernel updates, driver updates, and optionally bug fixes for other user-mode packages.
    Important:
    - Applying the IBM Storage Defender CVE patch might induce rolling reboots across the nodes of the cluster.
    - Rolling reboots might take more than 15 minutes per node depending on the contents of the patch.
    - CVE patches cannot be reverted.

    CVE patch content is cumulative, similar to the regular product patch content. This allows you to install the latest patch (CVE or non-CVE) and be brought up to the latest available content.
     

    To install a CVE patch on a Data Protect cluster, complete the following steps:

    1. Download the patch files from Fix Central.  
    2. Place the patch file to your local file server to use the URL while downloading the patch.
    3. Upload the patch files to the Data Protect management interface:
      1. Log in to the Data Protect management interface, and specify the login credentials for a cluster admin user.
      2. Navigate to Settings>Software Update.
      3. On the Security Patches tab, click the Download Security Patch button
      4. Copy the URL of local file server (see step 2) and  paste the URL in the dialog box.
      5. The downloaded patch gets listed under the Available Patches section after the download is complete.
    4. Click the Apply button to apply the patch.
    5. When the installation process is complete, the patch files are listed under Applied Patches.
