When upgrading from Backup Agent version 5.0.0 or 5.0.1, we suggest you perform the following manual steps before the upgrade:

1. Type this command to terminate all {{cdp-2-6 agent}} processes:

{code}ps ax | egrep -i c[d]p | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9{code}

Verify that there are no running or defunct {{cdp-2-6}} processes by running:

{code}ps ax | egrep –i c[d]p{code}

2. Proceed with the upgrade:

*For Centos/RHEL/rpm-based:*

{code}yum update {code}

_Or:_

{code}yum install serverbackup-enterprise-agent{code}

*For Debian/Ubuntu/apt-based:*

{code}apt-get update {code}
followed by

{code}apt-get upgrade
{code}

_Or:_

{code}apt-get install serverbackup-enterprise-agent{code}

3. Start the new Server Backup Agent:

*For Centos/RHEL/rpm-based:*

{code}service cdp-agent start{code}

*For Debian/Ubuntu/apt-based:*

{code}/etc/init.d/cdp-agent start{code}
