Upgrade NAS proxy on Windows and Linux from Management Console

Enterprise Workloads Editions: File:/tick.png Business File:/cross.png Enterprise File:/tick.png Elite

You can upgrade the NAS proxy to the latest versions by downloading the latest version from the Druva portal. This topic describes how you can upgrade NAS proxy to the most recent version on a Windows and Linux server.

Note: The NAS proxy upgrade feature is supported from version 4.5 and above. You must manually upgrade to version 4.5 or above to use this feature.

Limitations

  1. If you have installed a hotfix on your existing Druva version, you cannot automatically upgrade to the next version from the Druva portal. You must manually upgrade to the next available version.
  2. If the server running NAS proxy restarts during the upgrade, you must either perform a manual upgrade or roll back the upgrade.
  3. After triggering the update, if you have any ongoing scheduled backup and restore jobs, they will resume after the upgrade.
  4. If the old version is not present the server machine, then upgrade rollback will fail. In this scenario, you must manually upgrade or roll back the client.

To upgrade NAS proxy

  1. Log in to the Management Console.

  2. Select the workload from the Protect menu. Note that if the All Organizations menu is enabled, you have to first select an organization that has your NAS device and then select the workload.
  3. NAS Proxies can be upgraded from the Mapped Proxies page and the All Proxies page. The Client Version column on these pages displays the current client status.
