Upgrading Anyware Connector

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

Downgrading Anyware Connector

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

Note: Our Recommendation

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

To perform a downgrade:

  1. Make sure your data is backed up.

  2. Install the correct version of the Connector RPM:

    sudo dnf upgrade -y anyware-connector

  3. Run the following command to downgrade Anyware Connector: 

        /usr/local/bin/anyware-connector downgrade
