Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.1 Installation and Deployment Guide

Upgrade the plugin server

Upgrading the plugin server upgrades the HTML5 plugin and the API.

Prerequisites

Download a plugin server upgrade file from the RecoverPoint for VMs product support section of https://www.dell.com/support.

About this task

Plugin server releases are not tied to RecoverPoint for VMs releases. Upgrade packages can upgrade all services running on the plugin server. When a plugin server is being upgraded, the vSphere HTML5 plugin is not functional until upgrade is complete.

NOTE:Plugin server upgrade packages do not contain the updated SLES versions of the plugin. After an upgrade, if security scans identify vulnerabilities associated with the plugin server, it is recommended that you uninstall the existing plugin server and re-install the plugin server using the latest OVA files. This ensures that the OS libraries and relevant packages are the latest versions. For more information, see Uninstall the plugin server.

Steps

In the RecoverPoint for VMs HTML5 plugin for vSphere Client, click System > Plugin Server
The RecoverPoint for VMs Plugin Server screen is displayed.
Click Actions > Upgrade plugin server
Select the plugin server upgrade file that you downloaded from https://www.dell.com/support, and click OK.

Results

Wait for upgrade to complete to operate your RecoverPoint for VMs system.
