Upgrade AWS proxy

Enterprise Workloads Editions
❌ Business| ✅ Enterprise (Purchase Separately) | ✅ Elite

 

 This topic provides instructions to upgrade the Druva AWS proxy manually and through the Management Console. Before you upgrade the Druva AWS proxy, verify that the content of the IAM policy attached to the IAM role matches the content defined in the DruvaIAMPolicy topic.

Note: If you have deployed Druva AWS proxy without using a CloudFormation Stack, ensure that you only open an outbound port 443 (HTTPS). For secured remote login, you can open an inbound port 22 (SSH).

Upgrade Druva AWS proxy through the Management Console

You can upgrade Druva AWS proxy to the latest versions from the Management Console with a single click.

Note: CentOS has reached end-of-support. If you have your proxy deployed on CentOS (AWS proxy version 6.3.3 or earlier), you must manually upgrade it to Ubuntu proxy by deploying the CloudFormation stack. For more information, see Deploying CloudFormation stack template for migrating AWS Proxy from CentOS to Ubuntu.

Limitations

  • If you have installed a hotfix on the existing Druva AWS proxy version, you cannot automatically upgrade to the next version from the Management Console. You must manually upgrade to the next available version.
  • If the client machine restarts during the upgrade, you must manually upgrade or rollback the client version.
  • If you upgrade the Druva AWS proxy with version 4.8.0 to 4.8.2, any ongoing DR failover job fails.  However, any ongoing DR restore job resumes after the upgrade.
  • If the old version is not present on the client machine, the upgrade rollback will fail. In this scenario, you must manually upgrade or rollback the client.
