Updating Light Agent for Windows databases and modules on a virtual machine template
To update Light Agent databases and application modules on a virtual machine template:
On the hypervisor, turn on the protected virtual machine being used as a temporary protected virtual machine template.
By default, when installed on a protected virtual machine Light Agent starts automatically when the operating system is loaded. If you have disabled automatic startup of the application, start Light Agent on the protected virtual machine and make sure that Light Agent is connected to the SVM.
Update the Light Agent databases and modules manually or wait for the Light Agent module and database update task to start according to schedule.
After the update is complete, power off the protected virtual machine.
Create new temporary protected virtual machines from the updated template. To learn more, see the virtual infrastructure documentation.
To automate the process of updating Light Agent databases and modules on virtual machine templates, you can use tools such as Microsoft Virtual Machine Servicing Tool (for templates based on the Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor), and Citrix PowerShell SDK and Citrix Provisioning (Citrix Provisioning Services) (for templates based on Citrix XenDesktop).
To automate the process of updating Light Agent databases and modules on virtual machines managed by VMware Horizon, you can use the VMware vSphere PowerCLI scripting language to create a script to automatically update the snapshot of a protected virtual machine and recreate the pool of temporary protected virtual machines using the Get-Snapshot and Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool constructs.
