Upgrading Agent on Debian and Ubuntu

To upgrade the Linux CDP Agent to version 3.18.2, log in to the server and perform the following steps.

Notice

Make sure you have a backup of the CDP installation directory before upgrading.
Make sure that on upgrade from 2.x, the target machine is rebooted before installing 3.18.2.

1. Run the following commands:

 # apt-get update 

 # apt-get upgrade 

2. Type "Y" to allow the system to use additional disk space.

Tip
The upgrade process can take some time because the above command upgrades all of the obsolete packages, not just the CDP Agent.

3. After the upgrade is complete, execute the following command to make sure that version 3.18.2 has been installed:

 dpkg -l | grep r1soft 

Note
When you upgrade, Task History for completed tasks will be purged. This change fixes several memory issues with the server.
