Upgrading dvadmin

You can upgrade dvadmin by uninstalling the current version of the Data ONTAP-v Installer virtual machine and deploying the OVF template for the new version of the virtual machine.

Before you begin

You should exit dvadmin before deploying the replacement OVF template. Before exiting the utility, make sure you have first exited any dvadmin console sessions and stopped the Data ONTAP-v monitor.
Note: You should not stop or shut down existing Data ONTAP Edge VMs. These storage systems must be running when you deploy the replacement OVF template and when you start dvadmin.

Steps

  1. If you are running a dvadmin console session, press Ctrl-]x to exit the session.
  2. If you are running the Data ONTAP-v monitor, type vm monitor stop at the dvadmin prompt.
  3. If dvadmin is running, type exit at the dvadmin prompt.
  4. Deploy the OVF template for the new version of the dvadmin virtual machine.
  5. Configure the virtual machine network interface.
  6. Connect dvadmin to the Data ONTAP Edge host or the vCenter Server.
  7. After you have verified that the installation was successful, you may optionally uninstall the current version of the dvadmin virtual machine.
