Upgrading from NAbox 3.x

You cannot do an in-place upgrade from NAbox 3 to NAbox 4, you have to deploy a new virtual appliance.

You can migrate your data though, once both versions are running. Please follow the instructions in the documentation.

The migration copies your systems configuration and all metrics.

Verifying checksum

It is recommended that you verify the checksum for the ova file to avoid issues while deploying the image into vSphere.

Upgrading from NAbox 2.x

There is no upgrade path from NAbox 2.x to NAbox 3.x, the foundations of the OS are totally different (moving from Debian Linux to Alpine Linux).

Currently there is no way to batch import configuration or existing metrics, but it can be done manually.

Note that you are strongly encouraged to move your installation to NetApp Harvest 2 which has a different backend storage than NetApp Harvest 1.x (moving from Graphite to Prometheus).

A common practice when moving to NAbox v3 is to deploy the new virtual appliance, and let both running for a while until you consider having enough history with the new virtual appliance, then decomission NAbox 2.x.

About Harvest 2.x

You need NAbox 3 to run NetApp Harvest 2.x. Please note that NetApp Harvest 1.x is no longer available from NetApp web site. If you just downloaded NetApp Harvest, you probably want to download NAbox 3.x above.
