Upgrading KVM ACCESS
If the KVM ACCESS program has already been installed, it is not necessary to perform a full install. The
latest KVM ACCESS version can be installed by running the KVM ACCESS-Upgrade program:
Preliminary steps
Taking the following backup steps before you begin is recommended. If a problem should occur after the
upgrade, the backup created can be used to restore the database to its latest working level.
• You must have previously scheduled regular backups so you will have a backup file to restore. See
“Backup the Server Database” on page 84 for details.
• You must have scheduled backup files from "Backup Device Configuration" (page 89).
Upgrade
Run the KVM ACCESS Upgrade procedure. Follow the installation Wizard to complete the procedure.
KVM ACCESS Upgrade_Win.exe (for Windows)
KVM ACCESS Upgrade_Linux.bin (for Linux)
Note: New versions of the Upgrade Program are posted on www.apc.com for download as
they become available. Check the website to get the most up-to-date version.
After the Upgrade is completed, all settings/information are reset.
• Use the “KVM ACCESS Utility” on page 110 to restore database settings.
• Run Restore Device Configuration to restore Device Configurations and Account Information.
See “Restoring Device Configurations” on page 62 for instructions on restoring device
configurations and account information.
