Storware update went wrong

Cristian Eglue

Hi,

Few months ago I've installed Storware on a WMWare host, the actua version is 5.2.0-45, today I had check if there's an update and I've followed this guide:

https://storware.gitbook.io/backup-and-recovery/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/common-tasks/server-upgrade

But I've some trouble to update:

Activate the web console with: systemctl enable --now c&ast;&ast;kpit.socket

@Cristian-Eglue
Could I ask for the result of the cat command from the created repo for the SBR Endpoints product?
Should be located in /etc/yum.repos.d dir

Hi Djaw,

Here are:

[root@STORWARE yum.repos.d]# cat vProtect.repo

Hi Cristian,
Repo looks fine

If you want to update the server hosting UI Storware Backup & Recovery, use the yum update vprotect-server command

yum update sbr-endpoints-server refers to the application component used to backup computers in the organization.

Please also remember to update vprotect-node along with server update

@djaw said in Storware update went wrong:

yum update vprotect-server

Hi Djaw

Thank you, I was able to update both with the commands:

yum update vprotect-server
yum update vprotect-node

Thanks and regards,
Cristian
