Upgrading the manager
Explains how to upgrade the VM Essentials manager, the Morpheus Agent, and how to update HVM hosts.
To upgrade the VM Essentials manager, you’ll need to obtain the .deb upgrade package(s) from the VM Essentials page on the HPE Software Center. Reach out to your account manager if you’re unable to access the downloads as described in the next paragraphs. For an upgrade, you’ll need the debian package (not the ISO, which is for first-time installation). If you are performing an offline upgrade, you will also need the “supplemental” debian package.
Once logged into My HPE Software Center, click on the “Software” section from the side navigation.
Within the “Software” section, search for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software amongst your other software entitlements. A “Product Info” type search for the term “HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software” may work but depending on the entitlements present in the account and future changes to search functionality, a slightly different search might be required. Once VM Essentials is successfully returned, click on the dropdown menu under “Action” and click on “Get License.”
From the download page, you’ll see software packages, signature files and license files. Mark the checkbox next to any that you need and download them to your computer.
For an upgrade, we only need the .deb file available in the software center (and potentially the “supplemental” debian package as well if this will be an offline upgrade). To continue, copy the .deb file(s) over to the VM Essentials manager VM. On Linux, this could be done with scp (scp /path/to/file.deb username@<VM IP address>:/path/to/destination). You’ll need the VM user’s password unless you’re using SSH keys. Alternatively, you may also click the "curl Copy" button to download a .txt file containing a curl command which you can paste into a terminal session connected to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Manager VM.
With the .deb file in place, we need to open a console connection to the VM Essentials manager VM to perform the actual upgrade. There are a number of methods to accomplish this but below are two examples from either an HVM host or from your own computer.
