Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery 19.13 Installation Guide

Updating the Cyber Recovery software and the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance

Use the crsetup.sh setup script to update the Cyber Recovery software.

1. Log in to the management host as root.
2. Download the Cyber Recovery update package to a directory with approximately 1.5 GB of free space.
3. Untar the file:

   # tar -xzvf <file name>

   The file is untarred to the staging directory (within the current directory). The extraction includes the crsetup.sh setup script.
4. Run a preupdate check to ensure readiness for the software update:

   # ./crsetup.sh --upgcheck

5. Go to the staging directory:

   # cd staging

   Cyber Recovery vault
6. Begin the update:

   # ./crsetup.sh --upgrade

7. At the prompt, indicate that you want to continue the update.
   NOTE:

   For a Cyber Recovery software update only, if you are upgrading from Version 19.1 to Version 19.3, the update procedure attempts to create a Linux user (cyber-recovery-admin) on the management host in the Cyber Recovery vault. It assigns a reserved UID:GID of 14999 to the cyber-recovery-admin user. This user owns specific installation directories.

   If the reserved UID:GID 14999 is assigned to another user or the cyber-recovery-admin user exists but is not assigned the reserved UID:GID 14999, the update procedure issues a warning message. Otherwise, the update procedure continues.

8. For a Cyber Recovery software update only, if you are upgrading from Version 19.1 to Version 19.3, and the update procedure displays a warning about creating the cyber-recovery-admin user, indicate if you want to continue or cancel the update.
   If you complete the update, the Cyber Recovery software operates correctly, however, a non-cyber-recovery-admin user might own some installation directories.
9. At the warning, indicate that you want to continue the update if:
   • You are not running CyberSense on your deployment.
   • You are running CyberSense on your deployment and there are no analyze operations running or scheduled, and there are DD Boost users configured on the CyberSense server for each DD system that is providing analysis data. Otherwise, following the instructions in the warning message to meet the prerequisites.
10. When prompted, enter the MongoDB password.
11. When prompted, enter the lockbox passphrase.
    The update proceeds and starts the Cyber Recovery system.
12. If you are upgrading a pre-Version 19.13 Cyber Recovery virtual appliance, and if you have not already done so, update the security patches and base operating system components.
    NOTE: These update patches are for the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance only.
