You can check latest verion on DSM.

For the Linux operating system, the upgrade process will verify whether the current kernel is compatible with the latest Trend agent. If the kernel is not supported, the upgrade will stop, and the following error message will appear in the toolbox operation results:
Error: The current Linux kernel version 6.8.0-48-generic is not supported.

If the kernel is supported, the upgrade will proceed, displaying the message:
Kernel version 6.8.0-45-generic is supported.

Instead of toolbox, you can execute the below commands directly in the VM.

Windows: C:\.armor\opt\armor.exe trend upgrade Linux: /opt/armor/armor trend upgrade

Trend Agent Upgrade Best Practices

If you have critical workloads running on your agent servers, we recommend that you follow these best practices when upgrading:

  • Upgrade when the computers are less busy.

  • Test the upgrade procedure first in a staging environment before upgrading production servers.

  • When upgrading production servers, upgrade one server at a time for the first few servers. Allow a soak period in between each server upgrade.

  • After individually upgrading a number of production servers for a given OS version (and application role, on Solaris or AIX), upgrade the remaining servers in groups.
