Updating VNX

This document describes the procedure for manually updating VNX to the latest version available on VNX repository (http://vnx.dit.upm.es/vnx/vnx-latest.tgz).

There are basically two methods to update VNX:

  • Manually downloading the tgz file, uncompressing and installing it:
  • mkdir /tmp/vnx-update
    cd /tmp/vnx-update
    rm -rf /tmp/vnx-update/vnx-*
    wget http://vnx.dit.upm.es/vnx/vnx-latest.tgz
    tar xfvz vnx-latest.tgz
    cd vnx-*
    ./install_vnx
    
  • Using vnx_update script distributed with VNX, which is basically a simple script that implements the previous procedure:
  • /usr/share/vnx/bin/vnx_update
