To upgrade your App Volumes agent, download and run the latest version of the App Volumes installer. You can upgrade from App Volumes agent 2.18 to the latest App Volumes agent version.
You can also upgrade the agent silently. See Upgrade App Volumes Agent Silently.
Note: During the upgrade, if a failure occurs or the upgrade is cancelled, the installer for
App Volumes agent rolls back to the previously installed version of the agent. After the rollback, the agent virtual machine must be restarted.
Prerequisites
- Download the latest App Volumes installer from My VMware.
- Schedule a maintenance window to ensure that there is no service degradation during the uninstall and subsequent upgrade process.
- Upgrade the App Volumes Manager.
Note: Ensure that the App Volumes Manager version used is the same version or a later version of the App Volumes agent.
- Unassign all AppStacks and writable volumes from the target computer where you plan to upgrade the agent.
- If you are using App Volumes Agent earlier than 2.18, you must first upgrade to App Volumes agent 2.18 or later.
