Before you begin

Before you begin, ensure the following:

  • You are logged on to the server that has an existing installation of Phoenix agent as an administrator. 
  • Your server matches the requirements listed in prerequisites for Phoenix agent. 
  • You have downloaded the latest Phoenix agent installer on your server. The installer is available on the Druva downloads page. You can also download the installer from the Phoenix Management Console at the time of registering servers. 
  • To upgrade a Phoenix agent manually, it is recommended to install a new version of the Phoenix agent instead of uninstalling the existing old agent and then installing a new agent. This avoids the need of re-registration of the agent with Phoenix because the uninstallation process removes all the logs and the configuration-related information from the Phoenix agent.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the Phoenix installer.
  2. Click Next. 
  3. In the Install location box, type or select the full path to the installation home directory. 
  4. Click Install.
  5. After the installation completes, click Finish.

Note: After an upgrade, Phoenix agent is activated automatically. You do not require a separate activation of Phoenix agent.

Upgrade the Phoenix agent using Phoenix Management Console

When you register a SQL server, the Windows server that hosts the SQL server is listed on the Protect > Windows/Linux page on the Phoenix Management Console. You can use the following steps to upgrade the Phoenix agent on the Windows servers:

  1. Log in to the Phoenix Management Console.
  2. On the menu bar, click All Organizations, and select the required organization from the drop-down list.
  3. On the menu bar, click Protect > Windows/Linux Servers.
  4. Under the Client Version column on the All Servers tab, you can view the current status for each agent.
