Is All-in-One Appliance another name for Virtual Appliance?

Thread solved

I'm installing some hotfix. There is an installer for AIO (all-in-one appliance) and none for virtual appliance.

I'm using a virtual appliance in my system, and it is the first time I learnt about AIO. I wonder if that hotfix for AIO applies to my virtual appliance. Hence, the question: is All-in-One Appliance actually another name for Virtual Appliance?

Hello FANG CHENG TIN,

thank you for your posting! Please note that Acronis Cyber Backup appliance (all-in-one appliance) and Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) are different components. 

Acronis Cyber Backup appliance is basically a standard Acronis Management Server (Linux version) installed onto CentOS 7 and contains the following components:

  • Management Server
  • Agent for Linux
  • Agent for VMware (Linux)

Here you can also read more details:  https://forum.acronis.com/comment/445588#comment-445588 

Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) is just a regular backup agent deployed as a virtual appliance.

Thank you for the information. Though, is it allowed to leave the Virtual Appliance as it is: after installing the hotfix, my Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 is on build 16386, while my VA is still on 14330. So far, my system is still working and if possible, I wish to avoid having to remove and set up a new VA.

Hello Fang Cheng Tin.

Please open Acronis Cyber Backup Management Console, navigate to Settings -> Agents, select the VA that has not been updated and click on Update Agent button in the upper-right corner.

Hi, thanks for the prompt response. It seems that my VA is not shown in the list. That node on the first line (with the virtual logo) is my Acronis Cyber Backup Management Console node.

Hello FANG CHENG TIN,

is your virtual appliance registered to the Acronis Management Center? Please refer to Registering an already installed Agent for VMware

My Virtual Appliance was indeed not registered to the management server. After having it registered, I managed to update the agent. Thanks!

Hello Fang Cheng Tin.

If you can't find the VA in the Agent's list (please scroll the screen down), then please re-register this VA on the AMS:
