Upgrade the HAProxy Data Plane API on HAProxy ALOHA

To update to a newer version of the API, follow these steps:

1. Obtain your credentials for accessing HAProxy ALOHA downloads. You can create a new support ticket in the HAProxy Technologies Customer Portal to request your credentials.

2. Go to the ALOHA downloads page, navigate into the folder for your firmware and then into the packages folder. Enter your credentials to access the folder.

   Download the latest management-aloha<VERSION>.img disk image.

3. Log in to your HAProxy ALOHA web UI as an administrator.

4. In the Services tab, stop the dataplaneapi service.

5. Go to the Tools tab, then use the File manager to upload the management-aloha<VERSION>.img disk image to the directory /app/images/.

6. Reboot the virtual appliance through the Setup tab.

7. Check that the dataplaneapi service is started in the Services tab.

   You can also verify which version of the API is installed by running the following command from the CLI:

   nix
   /app/management/usr/sbin/dataplaneapi --version

   nix
   /app/management/usr/sbin/dataplaneapi --version
