KVM.net Upgrade Procedure
Save the KVM.net package file on the client system. Run the downloaded file to unpack its contents to a temporary folder.
To update the firmware (See Upgrade procedure of KVM.net System as well):
- Using WinSCP.exe software, upload files "kvm.net.4.0.2.5.zip" and "upgrade.sh" to /misc folder in KVM.net Manager.
- On the KVM.net console or by using PuTTY.exe software, login to the KVM.net Manager Linux shell with root permissions (default password for root account is "access") and create a backup of the existing database, refer to the document IPA3-2.pdf KVM.net Manager Database Backup and Restore for more information.
- Change permissions of the "upgrade.sh" file by running "chmod a+x upgrade.sh" command in /misc folder.
- Upgrade the KVM.net Manager by running "./upgrade.sh kvm.net.4.0.2.5.zip" command. KVM.net Manager will reboot automatically after the upgrade.
- After KVM.net Manager will restart, login to its web interface and upload the updated firmware file for client and devices on the upgrade page of the KVM.net. KVM.net Manager will start upgrading devices at 5 at a time rate. Ensure that all users are logged out from the system and don’t connect to targets/servers during the firmware upgrade of the devices.
- Upload updated SDF (Switch Definition File) on the KVM.net KVM Switches page if needed.
- Upgrade of KVM.net Replication (Slave) unit is performed in the same way as upgrading KVM.net Master unit, except creating the database backup. There is no need to create database backup for KVM.net Replication unit.
