Preparing the Product Update Files in the Catalogic vStor Appliance

There are two phases in the update procedure for the Catalogic vStor appliance for VMware or Linux: updating the operating system and updating the Catalogic vStor application components. Before proceeding the operating system update, take the following steps to prepare for both phases:

  1. Log in to the Linux shell session of the Catalogic vStor 4.8.0 appliance with the admin account, typically, from an SSH client.

  2. Create a directory in which you store files to upgrade the system:

    $ mkdir ~/update/

  3. From a web browser in your workstation, go to the Catalogic MySupport website (mysupport.catalogicsoftware.com), and log in. Go to the product page for Version 4.8.1, go to the "vStor Update" section, and download the following files:

    • vStor update (all) (vstor_4.8.1-60.iso)

    • vStor update script (update_vstor_4.8.1.sh)

  4. Copy these update files to /home/admin/upgrade/ in the Catalogic vStor appliance by using an SCP client.

  5. Verify the file integrity of the update files by using the following command:

    $ md5sum ~/update/*

    Compare the MD5 checksum values with the original values in the product web page.

  6. Change the execution bit of the update script file: $ sudo chmod +x ~/update_vstor_4.8.1.sh
