Deployment Guide

Upgrading Existing Evo:Rail Appliance

Update

Complete these steps to update deployed and configured EVO:RAIL appliances. This process will involve

updating the EVO:RAIL software, the vCenter software and the ESXi software. You can upgrade to 1.0.2

directly from 1.0.0 or from 1.0.1.

In addition, EVO:RAIL Release 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 customers will have to update their Log Insight license, as

described in the support section.

Four files are needed to upgrade to EVO:RAIL Release 1.0.2 from Release 1.0.0. If you are upgrading from

1.0.1 to 1.0.2, only two files are needed - you can skip vCenter Server and ESXi.

All files must be uploaded from http://my.vmware.com in to a directory accessible from your EVO:RAIL

management workstation/laptop.

• vmware-marvin-1.0.2-2456370.rpm

• VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.20200-2183109-updaterepo.zip

• EVO_RAIL_1.0.2-2456370.zip

• ESXi550-201410001.zip

Update EVO:RAIL RPM

• Create a snapshot or backup copy of the vCenter Server virtual appliance. This can be accomplished

by connecting to VMware vSphere Web Client via https://<hostname>:9443, where <hostname> is

the IP address or hostname of EVO:RAIL.

• Verify that you are logged in to EVO:RAIL as administrator@vsphere.local or as a user with

administrator privileges. The URL format is Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.,

where <hostname> is the IP address or hostname of the EVO:RAIL management interface.

• Complete these update steps in the same order of their occurrence.

This step is needed for all EVO:RAIL upgrades.

1. From EVO:RAIL Management, click the Config icon in the left menu bar.

2. In the upper right corner of the configuration page, in the Offline Updates section, click the Upload

link, and browse to vmware-marvin-1.0.2-2456370.rpm.
