Avamar: How to understand Server and Client Agent Software Version Numbering

概要: .Avamar server and agent (client) software versioning follows traditional software release versioning methodologies (such as 1.2.3.4) but with a unique twist.

手順

Facts:
  • The Environment includes one or more client machines. These could be Avamar VMware proxy hosts, Exchange hosts, and so forth. The clients run Avamar software versions numbered like "7.5.100-183." The Avamar server itself is running Avamar server software version "7.5.1-183."
Goal:
  • Provide clarity around server and agent software release timeframes.
  • The clients are running 7.5.100 while the server is running a seemingly lower version (7.5.1). This is no reason for concern.
Server and Agent versioning
These can vary depending on Avamar version, but the Server-side code always has one digit (7.5.0-*). 
The Client-side code always has three digits (7.5.100-*).
Another example is Avamar Server version 18.1.0-33 and Client version 18.1-100-33.

The versions of Avamar code on the Server itself is numbered 7.5.0-183.
The Avamar Client-side software (such as proxies) is 7.5.100-183.
These are the same release build but denoted differently to make support easier.

Platform Security Rollup 
Dell releases a Platform Security Rollup on periodic basis. The example below shows how to interpret the version numbering. 
File Name: AvPlatformOsRollup_2022-R4-v5.avp
Nature of the file:  Avamar Platform OsRollup
Released Year: 2022 
Released Quarter: R4 (R1 would be Q1, R2 would be Q2 and R3 would be Q3) This is a Q4 release. 
Format: avp  (Avamar workflow format, need to use AVI to install the file)
