Updating Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client

Catalogic DPX Master Server and Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client have different update mechanisms. That is, you have to update Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware separately.

Attention!

Do not simply click Update in the VMware vSphere Plugin section of the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface. Complete the instructions in this section carefully.

Take the following steps to update Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client:

1. Log in to a shell session of the Catalogic DPX Master Server, typically, by using an SSH client.

2. Run the following commands and ensure that the Catalogic DPX Environment variables are loaded:

   PATTERN="\(AUTH_URL_FORMAT\|DPX_MASTER_URL_FORMAT\|SERVER_SSL_THUMBPRINT\)"

   grep -n $PATTERN /opt/catalogic/dpx.yml

   Ensure that you are seeing similar output:

   80:      - AUTH_URL_FORMAT=http://%s/auth
   81:      - DPX_MASTER_URL_FORMAT=http://%s/app/api
   82:      - SERVER_SSL_THUMBPRINT=01:23:45:67:89:AB:CD:EF:00:11:22:33:44:55:
   ↪66:77:88:99:AA:BB

Tip.

If you do not see these three key-value pairs in the output, redo the instructions in Reloading the Catalogic DPX Environment in the shell session.

3. From a supported web browser, log in to the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface.
4. From the navigation pane, go to Nodes. In the list of nodes, open the VMware vCenter node for the Catalogic DPX Plug-in VMware vSphere Client that you are trying to update.
5. Open the VMware vSphere Plugin tab. Click Update Version.

In the VMware vSphere Plugin tab, ensure that the DPX Plugin Version value is updated with a new version number.
