Previous versions of the AppAssure Agent software must be completely removed from a Linux machine
before installing the Rapid Recovery Agent version and protecting the Linux machine using the Rapid
Recovery Core. This is true for online or offline installations. Removing AppAssure Agent employs the use
of shell scripts. The uninstall instructions differ, depending on the Linux distribution you are using. For
more information on uninstalling AppAssure Agent from a Linux machine, see the topic "Uninstalling the
AppAssure Agent software from a Linux machine" in the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery 6.0
Installation and Upgrade Guide.
NOTE: Removal of the new Rapid Recovery Agent software uses the package manager for each
distribution. Therefore, if uninstalling a version of Rapid Recovery Agent, see the appropriate
procedure under the topic see the topic "Uninstalling the AppAssure Agent software from a Linux
machine" in the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery 6.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
If installing Rapid Recovery Agent on a Linux machine that has never had AppAssure Agent installed,
determine the appropriate package manager from the preceding table. Then follow the appropriate
installation procedure.
After configuring the newly installed Agent software on a Linux machine, you must restart the machine.
Restarting ensures that the proper kernel driver version is used to protect your machine.
Thus, the installation process when upgrading from AppAssure to Rapid Recovery involves:
• Removing the AppAssure Agent software (not required for first-time installations)
• Determine the relevant package manager for your Linux distribution
• Follow the procedure for installing Rapid Recovery Agent on the Linux machine, including configuring
the software repository (steps 1 through 4 of the installation procedure)
• Run the configuration utility to set port, configure users, add firewall exclusions, install the kernel
module, and start the Agent service.
• Restart the Linux machine
The instructions for installing the Agent software on a Linux machine differ slightly depending on the
Linux distribution you are using. For more information about preparing for and installing the Agent
software for a Linux machine connected to the Internet, see the appropriate topic. You can choose from
the following sections:
• Installing the Rapid Recovery Agent software on Debian or Ubuntu
• Installing the Rapid Recovery Agent software on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
