To update the File System agent on Linux, run the following command:
install.sh
  • For silent update in debugging mode, type: install.sh --force-upgrade --debug

    NOTE:During silent installation or update, the debug output is directed to syslog to be viewed later.
  • To enable the PowerProtect Data Manager communication 7000 TCP port, run the /opt/dpsapps/agentsvc/configfw.sh script as the root user.
NOTE:
  • When you install or update the File System agent, other app agents on the system must be updated to the same version as the File System agent.
