NBvcPlugin Upgrade

I am looking to upgrade the plugin from 7.6.0.2 to 7.7.1, but I am having trouble finding some documentation on how to go about doing so. From what I have found it looks like you have to delete the existing appliance and build a new one via the new .ova and hope everything that was changed previously to make it work will still work. Is there any documentation out there or maybe other forum posts that might be of assistance for this process? I plan on getting the current plugin upgraded and then also installing the web plugin as well.

  • Hello,

     

    yes you must go through uninstall/reinstall. See NetBackup7.6_vCenter_Plug-in_Guide.pdf, pages 17-18.

    I did it in this way for 7.6 ->7.7 "upgrade".

  • Looks like they have some docs and writeups fo the Web Client plugin, but I am not finding much in regards to the thick client plugin. The thick client plugin is the one that you have to install the appliance for via a .ova. That one is the one I was hoping to find some kind of reference to how to upgrade it, but all I can see thus far is basically just a complete reinstall.
