You can upgrade all of the existing hosts to use the latest version of SnapManager. All of the hosts are upgraded simultaneously. However, this might result in downtime of all the SnapManager hosts and the scheduled operations during that time.

Steps

  1. Log in to the host system as the root user.

  2. From the command-line interface (CLI), navigate to the location where you have downloaded the installation file.

  3. If the file is not executable, change the permissions: chmod 544 netapp.smsap*

  4. Stop the SnapManager server:

    smsap_server stop

  5. Depending on the UNIX host, install SnapManager:

    If the operating system is…​ Then run…​

    Solaris (SPARC64)

    # ./netapp.smsap.sunos-sparc64-version_number.bin

    Solaris (x86_64)

    # ./netapp.smsap.sunos-x64-version_number.bin

    AIX (PPC64)

    # ./netapp.smsap.aix-ppc64-version_number.bin

    Linux x86

    # ./netapp.smsap.linux-x86-version_number.bin

    Linux x64

    # ./netapp.smsap.linux-x64-version_number.bin
