Upgrading a previous vRanger installation

You may upgrade a previous vRanger installation to the latest version by running the standard vRanger installer. For information on which versions of vRanger are supported for upgrade, see Supported upgrade paths.

Upgrade from Beta versions is not supported, nor is operating a GA version in parallel with a Beta version. The Beta version must be uninstalled before upgrading a previous GA version or performing a full installation.

Updating the VSS Tools

Starting with vRanger 7.6.3, the path to required files has changed. Upgrading from a version of vRanger prior to 7.6.3 requires a refresh of the VSS Tools on each VM for which they are configured.

1
When viewing the My Inventory View, right-click the preferred VM, and select Configure VSS Tools.
2
When the Configure VSS Tools dialog box appears, enter the name and password for an account with administrative privileges on the VM, and click Next.

If the selected VM has more than one disk, the available disks are shown in the Disk for VSS snapshot section.

If preferred, select Perform application log truncation.

Click Configure, and click Next.

vRanger performs the following actions:

Creates the C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\vzShadow directory, and populates the directory with the vzShadow executable and supporting files.
Creates the C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\backupscripts.d directory, and creates a freeze.bat file in that directory that contains the appropriate contents based on your selections.
