- Amanda Enterprise server
- Zmanda client for Linux/Unix for the server
- Zmanda Management Console
- all of the dependencies for Zmanda Management Console.
Note that browser access to the ZMC requires IE 6 or greater on Windows, Firefox 1.5 or greater on Windows and Linux.
Upgrading from Amanda enterprise 2.6.3
To upgrade from Amanda enterprise version 2.6.3, you must uninstall the old installation and run the version 2.6.4 installer.
- Begin by backing up all configuration information by running the zm-support tool as describe here. Copy the resulting tarball to a safe location.
- Stop the Amanda server process by entering /etc/init.d/zmc stop as root.
- If Zmanda's ZRM for MySQL product is also running on this server, stop that process as well: /etc/init.d/zrm_zrm_init stop
- Uninstall 2.6.3 by running /opt/zmc/uninstall and answering "yes" to the "save old data set" prompt.
- Run the downloaded 2.6.4 installer. It will detect existing installation data and ask for confirmation to copy data from the previous installation.
The upgrade dialog is displayed.
If you exit the upgrade by clicking No, the installer exits without changing the current installation. If you click Yes to continue with the upgrade, the installer proceeds with the upgrade after you have accepted the License Agreement and warned you about installing a non-supported distribution.
- Caution: Canceling or otherwise interrupting this upgrade process can disable a
- working Zmanda Management Console installation. Subsequent attempts to access
- the ZMC will then return "cannot reach the localhost" messages. If you
- interrupt the upgrade for any reason, make sure to restart the upgrade and run
- it to completion.
- You are also given the option to retain existing log files, which we recommend that you keep. If the existing files are overwritten, the ZMC will re-fetch Alerts received from Amanda Network even though the User may have already seen them.
