Upgrading Infrastructure Components
Every time you launch the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically checks if Veeam Backup & Replication components installed on managed servers are up to date. If a later version of components is available, Veeam Backup & Replication displays the Components Update window and prompts you to upgrade components on managed servers. Components upgrade may be necessary, for example, after you have upgraded Veeam Backup & Replication.
You can manually check if components upgrade is required. To do this, select Upgrade from the main menu. If components on all managed servers are up to date, the menu item will be disabled.
Note |
When you upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication up to the current version, you can postpone upgrade of the I/O filter on the vCenter Servers to a later time. Veeam Backup & Replication supports postponed upgrade for the minor versions within the 12 version. You must postpone upgrade or upgrade all clusters on the vCenter Servers. Partially upgraded vCenter Servers or clusters have limited functionality. You cannot add VMs from such vCenter Servers or clusters to CDP policies, commit failback and perform some other operations. |
Bulk Upgrade
To upgrade components on managed servers:
- In the Components Update window, select a server and click Details. Veeam Backup & Replication will display the current and latest available versions for installed components.
- In the Components Update window, select check boxes next to servers for which you want to upgrade components and click Apply.
Individual Upgrade
You can update components on every managed server separately. If components installed on the server require upgrade, Veeam Backup & Replication displays a warning icon next to the server.
To update components for an individual managed server:
- Open the Backup Infrastructure view.
- In the inventory pane, click Managed servers.
- In the working area, select the server and click Upgrade on the ribbon. Alternatively, right-click the selected server and select Upgrade.
