2.2.2 The Upgrade Process
Acronis Access Upgrade Process
First, please identify the type of mobilEcho deployment you will be upgrading. The instructions for
these scenarios are detailed in the next section of this document. The most common scenarios are:
1. Single mobilEcho Server without Client Management configured
A single Windows server, running the mobilEcho File Access Server service only
2. Single mobilEcho Server with Client Management
A single Windows server, running both the mobilEcho File Access Server service and the
mobilEcho Client Management service
3. Multiple mobilEcho Servers with Client Management
Multiple Windows servers running the mobilEcho File Access Server service, with one of
those Windows servers also running the mobilEcho Client Management service
4. Multiple mobilEcho Servers front-ended by a load balancer
One standalone Windows server running the mobilEcho Client Management service, and two
or more Windows servers running the mobilEcho File Access Server service only, front-ended
by a load-balancer.
5. Windows Failover Cluster
Supported in version 5.0.3 or newer.
A multi-node Windows Failover Cluster running mobilEcho on 1 or more active/active or
active/passive virtual servers.
Important notes on Scenario 4 Load Balanced mobilEcho File Access Servers
If you are running multiple mobilEcho File Access Servers front-ended by a load balancer, each of these
mobilEcho servers must be kept configured with identical mobilEcho Volumes, so that users can connect to any
node to access their files. The most common way to maintain identical Volumes on these sets of load balanced
servers is to replicate the mobilEcho Volumes settings, which are stored in the registry in mobilEcho 4.5 or
earlier.
In Acronis Access, the Volumes settings have been moved into a SQL database. If you upgrade to Acronis Access,
your existing scripted registry updates used when adding new volumes to your mobilEcho servers will cease to
work. A new feature has been introduced in 5.1 that allows groups of load balanced Gateway servers to be
automatically administered from within the Acronis Access Server console. This feature eliminates the need to
replicate registry settings and script updates to your servers. Adding a new data source (volume) to your servers
is a one step process that is handled automatically by the management console. For more information, visit the
Cluster Groups article.
Important notes on Scenario 5 Windows Failover Cluster
Installing and upgrading mobilEcho on a Windows Failover Cluster is a complicated process. The architecture
changes introduced in mobilEcho 5.0 require change to the way mobilEcho works on Windows Failover Clusters.
