Updating your Azure Site Recovery On-Premises components

Between an on-premises VMware or physical site to Azure (Modernized experience) 

1. Ensure that your on-premises management appliance is up to date by navigating to the Appliance configuration manager. If not, download the latest version for the components that are behind the latest version. 

2. Go to the Azure portal, and then go to the Protected Items > Replicated Items page. Select a VM on this page. Select the Update Agent button that appears at the bottom of the page for each VM. This updates the Mobility Service Agent on all protected VMs.

Between an on-premises VMware or physical site to Azure (Classic experience)

1. Update your on-premises management server by downloading Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup. This is the server that has the Configuration server and Process server roles.

2. If you have scale-out process servers, update them next by running Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup.

3. If you have master target servers, update them next by checking the steps here.

4. Go to the Azure portal, and then go to the Protected Items > Replicated Items page. Select a VM on this page. Select the Update Agent button that appears at the bottom of the page for each VM. This updates the Mobility Service Agent on all protected VMs.

Note If you are updating or protecting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4, RHEL5, CentOS 5, DEBIAN7, DEBIAN8 and DEBIAN9 machines, then make sure to follow the below steps: 

• Download the appropriate installer for your machines – 

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4

  • RHEL 5

  • CentOS 5

  • Oracle Linux 6

  • Debian 7

  • Debian 8

  • Debian 9

  • Ubuntu-14.04

• Copy the installer to INSTALL_DIR\home\svsystems\pushinstallsvc\repository folders on Configuration Server and Scale Out Process Servers, before upgrading or protecting your Virtual Machines. For example, below will be the folder name when Configuration Server/Process Servers install path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery –
  
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery\home\svsystems\pushinstallsvc\repository

• After copying the installer, go to services.msc and restart the InMage PushInstall service.

Note: A restart is recommended after every upgrade of the Mobility agent to make sure that all latest changes are loaded on the source computer. This is not necessarily mandatory. However, a restart is mandatory if the difference between agent versions from the last restart and the target version is greater than four (4) in the last decimal place. See the following table for a detailed explanation.
