Upgrade a Connector when using private mode

If you are using BlueXP in private mode, you can upgrade the Connector when a newer version is available from the NetApp Support Site.

Tip When you use BlueXP in standard mode or restricted mode, you don't need to manually upgrade the Connector. BlueXP automatically upgrades a Connector to the latest release, as long as the Connector has outbound internet access to obtain the software update.
About this task

The Connector needs to restart during the upgrade process so the web-based console will be unavailable during the upgrade.

Steps

  1. Download the Connector software from the NetApp Support Site.

    Be sure to download the offline installer for private networks without internet access.

  2. Copy the installer to the Linux host.

  3. Assign permissions to run the script.

    chmod +x /path/BlueXP-Connector-offline-<version>

    Where <version> is the version of the Connector that you downloaded.

  4. Run the installation script:

    sudo /path/BlueXP-Connector-offline-<version>

    Where <version> is the version of the Connector that you downloaded.

  5. After the upgrade is complete, you can verify the Connector's version by going to Help > Support > Connector.
