Introduction

This document outlines the procedures for upgrading Jetstream DR for AVS.

Introduction

The software upgrade process can involve updating the MSA, Plugin, DRVA, RocVA, RVM, and Cluster followed by a post-upgrade clean-up. Every version upgrade does not necessarily upgrade all the components. To ensure a smooth upgrade experience, adhere to the prerequisites listed below.

...

Required information for the Update-JetDR cmdlet:

  • MSA IP: IP of the JetStream MSA.

  • MSA Credentials: Login credentials of the MSA.

  • Datacenter: Exact name of the datacenter where JetStream DR is deployed.

  • Datastore: Name of the datastore where the MSA VM is hosted.

  • MSA VM Name: The exact name of the MSA VM as per the vCenter (not the FQDN).

  1. Once the cmdlet has been initiated, monitor its status under Run execution > Information.
    (Click the Refresh option to update the screen to show its current status.)

...

  1. Validate MSA details.

  2. Create JSDR user role elevated privileges.

  3. Download the latest JetDR bundle followed by a checksum validation.

  4. Upgrade MSA.

  5. Upgrade vCenter server plugin.

  6. Upgrade DRVA.

  7. Upgrade RocVA and RVM (if CFO domains exist).

  8. Upgrade cluster.

  9. Restart CIM.

  10. Clean-up.

  11. Remove JSDR elevated user role and permissions.

Warning

NOTE : The AVS Run command may time out after 60 minutes. This is an AVS limitation.
If this happens, the Update-JetDR cmdlet should be re-run using the Resume option (see below).

...

  1. Confirm success of the upgrade by validated the current software version numbers of the various elements from the JetStream DR UI.

Note

Note:The following images depict example data and should not be used to confirm any actual software installation.

...

If the cluster has been upgraded to the latest version but some hosts still report old IO Filter versions, use the Resolve-Clusterissue cmdlet to resolve the discrepancy.

...

How to Check the IO Filter Version

  1. Navigate to: Datacenter > Configure > Jetstream DR > Configurations.

  2. Note the current software version of the cluster and if it has any warning.

  3. Click the Host Details link to review the details of the individual hosts of the cluster.
