說明

This article explains how to use Goav to apply, in an automated way, Avamar proxy hotfix to all registered proxies within Avamar.

  1. Goav tool: See Dell article 000192151 Avamar: Goav tool to download and install the Avamar Goav tool.

  2. Copy this tool into the Avamar Utility Node on /home/admin folder.

  3. Make this tool executable (as admin).

chmod +x goav

 

  1. Run the tool to get the list of proxies.

./goav proxy show

 

Note: This output shows all your registered proxies with version and hotfixes applied, if applicable.

 

  1. Download the latest proxy hotfixes available for your Avamar version. For IDPA 2.6.X, it is Avamar 19.3.

    Note: Access internal hotfixes or ask Support to give for the latest hotfixes files. The file is an RPM file. Here, the version that is used is Hotfix 327646.

  2. Copy this RPM to your Avamar home folder (or another).

  3. Update your GOAV local proxy password credentials to be able to send all commands.

./goav proxy set-password

 

Note: When asked if the proxy has all the same password, choose YES. The default password is 'avam@r'. Do the same command with '--name IDPA_PROXY_NAME' as IDPA internal proxy has the password of your Avamar by default.

 

  1. Apply the general proxy 19.3 hotfix command to avoid backup issue with service not enabled by default (19.3 proxy issue).

./goav proxy exec "systemctl enable vami-sfcb"

 

  1. Push the RPM update package on all proxies.

./goav proxy upload --local /tmp/AvamarVMwareCombined-linux-sles12sp4-x86_64-19.3.100-149.rpm --remote AvamarVMwareCombined-linux-sles12sp4-x86_64-19.3.100-149.rpm

 

  1. Perform hotfix update on all proxies.

./goav proxy exec "rpm -Uvh --force AvamarVMwareCombined-linux-sles12sp4-x86_64-19.3.100-149.rpm;reboot"

 

  1. (Optional) Change the proxy password.

./goav proxy exec "echo 'admin:PASSWORD' | chpasswd"

./goav proxy exec "echo 'root:PASSWORD' | chpasswd"

 

  1. Set the local proxy password change again to apply a new one.

./goav proxy set-password

 

Note: When ask if the proxy has all same password, choose YES. Set your PASSWORD to one used in step 11.

 

  1. Verify that the proxy has a good patch version applied.
    verify the proxy has good patch version

    => You can find under column "clientversion" Proxy base build and "_" and patch Number.

    Note: Look at the latest column. A patch number should appear such as HF327646.

  2. (Optional) Change the AutoDsMapping setting:

mccli client edit --auto-datastore-mapping=true --name=PROXY_NAME

 

Note: Do it for all proxies that apply.
