How to Upgrade to Arcserve UDP 6.0 Using the Single Installer

You can upgrade to Arcserve UDP Version 6.0. Review the supported versions for upgrade before you upgrade.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the ASDownloader.exe from the Arcserve download link.
2. Run the ASDownloader.exe, accept the License Agreement and click Next.
3. Select the Participate in Arcserve's Product Improvement Program check box and provide the details. Email address is mandatory.

   

4. Click Next.
5. Select the components that you want to download.

   

   Considerations for the component selection:

   • To upgrade the previous version of Arcserve UDP, select the Arcserve Unified Data Protection option.
   • To upgrade the previous version Arcserve Backup, select the Arcserve Backup option.
   • To upgrade the previous version of Arcserve RHA, select the Arcserve High Availability option.

   Note: Some components are automatically selected per dependency when you select the Arcserve Backup or Arcserve High Availability option. If you do not want to install the components on the same machine, see How to Upgrade to Arcserve UDP 6.0 from a Previous Release and use the Setup wizard to upgrade only the existing components.

6. After the components are downloaded, select the installation method to upgrade the selected components.

   Express Installation

   Express Installation is recommend when you plan to install all the components with their default configuration on the same machine. For example, besides upgrading Arcserve UDP Version 5.0 on the same machine, the Express Installation mode installs Arcserve Backup r17 and Arcserve High Availability r16.5 sp5 at the same time, if the Arcserve High Availability option is selected.

   Notes:

   • You must meet all the prerequisites for the upgrade. For example, .Net 3.5 is required for Arcserve Backup. Follow the instructions displayed on the Installer until all the prerequisites are met.
   • You must meet the Compatibility Matrix requirement.
   • The Express Installation method installs the components per the default configurations, such as path, protocol, port, and Database. When you upgrade using the Express Installation method, the same configuration is used as in the previous release.

     

   Advance Installation

   Advance Installation is recommend when you plan to install or upgrade the each component separately on the same machine. Click the Install button to upgrade or install each component separately.

   Note: To upgrade Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) using the Unified Installer, download the images by referring the links shared at the end of the Installer. After copying the images to the Linux Backup Server, follow steps mentioned in How to Upgrade Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux).

   

   You have successfully upgraded Arcserve UDP using the Unified Installer.
