      For users upgrading from version 5.0, whether you have applied a patch or not, it's crucial to follow this document to avoid errors during the upgrade process.

      Step 1. Uninstall the 4.x/5.0 backup server and ZMC binaries using the following commands,

      1. RPM-based: #yum remove zmanda-platform-shared

      2. Debian-based: For Debian-based systems, run the bash script attached in this article to preserve configuration files, and then uninstall using the command:  #apt remove zmanda-platform-shared

      Step 2. Copy 5.1 ZMC and backup server binaries to the respective servers and give executable permissions.

      #chmod +x zmanda-backup-server-5.1.0.41-x64.run
      #chmod +x zmanda-zmc-5.1.0.49-x64.run

      Step 3. Install the 5.1 ZMC and backup server binaries by running them with superuser permissions.

      #./zmanda-backup-server-5.1.0.41-x64.run
      #./zmanda-zmc-5.1.0.49-x64.run

      Step 4. Upload 5.1 license on ZMC to start using ZMC 5.1
