There are a few ways to upgrade GroupWise Disaster Recovery:
To upgrade GroupWise Disaster Recovery from the Web Console, choose upgrade from the Tools menu.
In the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Admin console, select the menu button at the top right and select Upgrade.
Select Upgrade Now.
Review the EULA and select Accept & Update.
There are a few ways you can upgrade from the command line:
Download the GWDR installer, unzip the files, and run ./install.sh from a terminal.
Select option 2 in the prompt to Upgrade/Repair GroupWise Disaster Recovery. The installer upgrades your GWDR software.
To upgrade GroupWise Disaster Recovery from the command line, run:
reloadu
reloadu -r will force a download of the available version even if you previously downloaded it.
reloadu -h shows a help page
If the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server does not have access to the Internet then the update can be downloaded from http://download.gwava.com/download.php?product=Reload&version=current
Copy the contents of the install folder to the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Server and place in
/opt/beginfinite/reload/upgrade
At a command prompt, type:
reloadu
To have GroupWise Disaster Recovery automatically upgrade itself, create a cron job:
crontab -e
and enter
00 1 * * 3 root /usr/sbin/reloadu
If you are using the Collector/Server Model, the collector will upgrade itself from the server when the next job begins:
When the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server is upgraded it copies the upgrade into:
/reload/[POprofile]/gre_data/sync/gre_data/proc/upgrade
When a backup job runs the collector uses rsync to check for an upgrade file. If it does it transfers the upgrade to:
/opt/beginfinite/reload/upgrade
If successful the collector upgrades itself, then corrupts of the upgrade files on the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server so it can’t upgrade again. The GroupWise Disaster Recovery server will check the files for corruption and if it is, deletes the corrupt files since the upgrade has been completed.
