Prerequisites for Upgrading the Catalogic DPX Master Server

Choose the either method to upgrade the Catalogic DPX Master Server: the online upgrade method which requires the Internet access or the offline upgrade method which requires the ISO file in addition to the script file.

Ensure that you have access to the shell session of Catalogic DPX Master Server, typically, by using an SSH client and an SCP client.

Take a full VM snapshot of the Catalogic DPX Master Server virtual appliance before running the upgrade script.

Catalogic DPX Master Server 4.6.1 and earlier have the embedded Catalogic vStor server in the appliance. Before upgrading your Catalogic DPX Master Server from Version 4.6.1 or earlier, you must uninstall the embedded Catalogic vStor server. If you have any data in the embedded Catalogic vStor server, contact Catalogic Support to request data migration.

Tip. The Catalogic DPX upgrade script stops automatically when there exists the embedded Catalogic vStor server in the Catalogic DPX Master Server.
