Post-update clean up
After you have verified that patching has completed successfully, do the following to clean up the
environment.
1. If you disabled DPM agents on the DPM servers earlier, do the following to restart any canceled
jobs and enable the DPM agents:
• On the Console VM, make sure that you are logged on as the account that you created for
patching, such as CPS-Update-Admin.
• Open an elevated Windows PowerShell session, and then run the following command:
$cred = Get-Credential (whoami)
• When prompted, enter the account password.
• Run the following commands. Press Enter after each command.
cd “\\VM Name\PUShare\<CPSPU Folder
Name>\>\Framework\PatchingUpgrade"
Import-Module .\PatchingUpgrade\DPM.psm1
Set-DPMBackupMode -BackupMode Enable -Credential $cred
2. If disk space is a concern, you can delete the VMM trace logs on each VMM server.
These files are located at the root of C: on each VMM server, and will have names like:
C:\VMMLog_<Prefix>-VMM-01_03301505.etl.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you leave the latest update package in the PUShare in case diagnostics or
debugging is needed. Also, do not remove the artifacts that were created during patching; for example, the VMM
artifacts such as custom resources, and any associated log files, Windows Installer packages (.msi files), or patch
files (.msp files).
