4.2 Upgrading Reload

To upgrade Reload from the Web Console, choose upgrade from the Tools dropdown menu, press Go.

Select Upgrade Now

To upgrade Reload from the Retain Administration, run:

 reload

Choose System | Tools | Upgrade | Upgrade

Progress will be shown onscreen.

To upgrade Reload 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 Reload 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 file to the Reload Server and place in

 /opt/beginfinite/reload/upgrade

At a command prompt, type:

 reloadu

To have Reload 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 Reload server is upgraded it dumps the upgrade rpm in:

 /reload/[POprofile]/gre_data/sync/gre_data/proc/upgrade

When a backup job runs the collector uses rsync to check for an rpm upgrade file. If it does it transfers the rpm to:

 /opt/beginfinite/reload/upgrade

If successful the collector upgrades itself, then corrupts of the rpm on the Reload server so it can’t upgrade again. The Reload server will check the rpm for corruption and if it is, deletes the corrupt rpm since the upgrade has been completed.
