veritas data insight UPGRADE

Affected: >= 6.0 and < 7.1

Fixed in: 7.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy data-insight || rpm -q data-insight || data-insight --version

2. UPGRADE to 7.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade data-insight

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade data-insight

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison data-insight sudo apt install data-insight=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0> sudo apt-mark hold data-insight

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list data-insight sudo dnf downgrade data-insight-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0> sudo dnf versionlock add data-insight

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
