Upgrading a Logger

Remote upgrades to Logger 7 require a previous hot-fix to be applied if Logger’s versions are any of the following:

• 6.7.0.8242

• 6.7.1.8253

• 6.7.1.8257

• 6.7.1.8262

The hot fix file to be uploaded is preupgrade-logger-20190924.enc. The name should be kept as is.

To upload the file from the master ArcMC:

  1. Download the hotfix file and store it in a secure network location. The file name should always be preupgrade-logger-20190924.enc depending on the form factor.
  2. Click Administration > Repositories.
  3. Select Upgrade Files from the navigation tree.
  4. In the management panel, click Upload.
  5. Click Choose File and browse to your hot fix file, then click Submit. The file is now uploaded.
  6. Continue with the normal procedure outlined in the To remotely upgrade one or more managed Loggers:

In ArcMC, you can remotely upgrade any of the following managed Logger types.

Form Factor Upgrade File Name Can Upgrade From Version... Can Upgrade To Version... Comments
Appliance logger-<build number>.enc 6.0 or later 6.1 or later The filename format for the remote upgrade file for Logger Appliance is logger-<build number>.enc

  • The filename format for the remote upgrade file for software Logger is logger-sw-<build number>-remote.enc
  • Remote operating system upgrade is not supported for software Logger, and, if required, must be performed manually.
