(Agent‑less Windows/Linux PNs) Update PN Proxy software

You do not need to initiate an upgrade of the PN proxies on your ESXi server because onQ does this for you automatically if the ESXi server is available. There is no way to disable automatic upgrades of the PN proxies.

During such an upgrade, vCenter indicates that the PN’s proxy, Linux PN proxy (LPY_<onQhostname>_<ESXhostname>) and Windows PN proxy (WPY_<onQhostname>_<ESXhostname>), are shutting down and the replacement PN proxies are being deployed.

Also, the DASHBOARD tab > PROTECTED NODES page > Connection Status icon, indicates the upgrade in progress:

1.	Before upgrade : solid green carat; white arrow points upward.

2.	During upgrade: solid green carat; yellow dash.

3.	After upgrade: solid green carat; white arrow points upward.

Also, onQ sends alerts about the upgrade. If you aren’t a recipient of such alerts, you can generate the Event Log for a given PN; this log shows the coordination that transpired between the onQ and PN proxies on the ESXi/ESX server.

All PNs on a given ESXi server and having the same operating system (Linux or Windows) will share a common PN proxy. Therefore, when a PN proxy that is common to all PNs is being upgraded, the onQ event log indicates that all the PNs are being upgraded. Also, the Connection Status icon provides the same aforementioned status for all the PNs.
