Upgrading the Connector on RHEL/Rocky Linux

The Anyware connector on RHEL/Rocky Linux can be upgraded in a 2-step process outlines as follows:

Upgrading a Connector

It is not possible to upgrade a Connector installed on Ubuntu to a Connector installed on RHEL or Rocky Linux. To replace a Connector installed on Ubuntu, you must install the RHEL/Rocky Linux Anyware Connector on a new virtual machine and configure it exactly the same as the existing Connector on Ubuntu.

  1. You must install the new version of the Connector RPM:

    sudo dnf upgrade -y anyware-connector

  2. Run the following command to upgrade the Connector with the current configuration:

    sudo /usr/local/bin/anyware-connector upgrade

Once you have successfully upgraded the Connector you should see a response similar to the example output outlined below. Anyware Connector Update Terminal

Rolling Back an UpgradeΒΆ

It is possible to roll back, or downgrade Anyware Connector to the previous version. During the rollback process, data is not backed up, and therefore, not restored after.

Note: Our Recommendation

We recommend that you perform a rollback only if absolutely necessary.

To perform a rollback:

  1. Make sure your data is backed up.

  2. Run the following command: 

        /usr/local/bin/anyware-connector downgrade
