Upgrading QoreStor

There are multiple options for upgrading your QoreStor software, allowing for flexibility to fit your environment and your comfort level with working in the Linux command line. Regardless of the method chosen, the QoreStor upgrade requires that the new binaries be downloaded from the Quest website and executed on the QoreStor server. The upgrade methods accomplish this in different ways:

  • The QoreStor Menu - the QoreStor menu provides a simple, assisted method to check for available updates, download the software to the QoreStor server, and executed the installer. Refer to Upgrading QoreStor Software using the QoreStor Menu
  • The QoreStor CLI - Through the QoreStor CLI you can manually upload the binaries, verify and change file permissions, and execute the installer with additional parameters. Refer to Upgrading your QoreStor Software using the QoreStor Command Line
  • The QoreStor UI - In circumstances where access to the QoreStor server is restricted (or for those that choose not to upload the QoreStor binaries via the command line), you may use the QoreStor UI to upload the QoreStor binary and signature files from your workstation. After uploading the files, you must execute the upgrade from the QoreStor CLI.  Refer to Upgrading QoreStor Software using the QoreStor UI.
