• The name of the software upgrade package (upgrade packages are identified by the .pkg
file name extension).
It is important to realize that the set of installed VPN Gateways you are running in a cluster are
cooperating to give you a single system view. Thus, when performing a minor or a major
release upgrade, you only need to be connected to the Management IP address of the cluster.
The upgrade will automatically be executed on all the VPN Gateways in operation at the time
of the upgrade. All configuration data is retained. For a minor upgrade, normal operations are
usually unaffected, whereas a major upgrade may cause the VPN Gateway to reboot.
You need to perform a disk repartitioning on AVG 3050 and 3070 before upgrading from
Release 7.x to 9.0.0.0. You can use the following commands to repartition the hard disk:
•
/boot/repartition
to initiate repartitioning for the local host.
• /cfg/sys/host<id>/repartition /cfg/sys/cluster/host <id>/
repartition
to initiate repartitioning for the given running host.
These commands are hidden and are not shown in the menu or considered for auto-completion
through <TAB>; they cannot be used in normal operation. Disk repartition takes approximately
5 to 7 minutes to complete the operation; it includes two automatic reboots, and makes the
host effectively out of service.
Access to the Management IP address can be accomplished through a Telnet connection or
SSH (Secure Shell) connection. Note however that Telnet and SSH connections to the VPN
Gateway are disabled by default, after the initial setup has been performed. For more
information about enabling Telnet and SSH connections, see Connecting to the VPN
Gateway on page 123. When you have gained access to the VPN Gateway, use the following
procedure.
1. To download the software upgrade package, enter the following command at the
Main menu prompt. Then select whether to download the software upgrade
package from a FTP/SCP/SFTP server.
>> Main#
boot/software/download
Select protocol (ftp/scp/sftp) [ftp]:
ftp
2. Enter the host name or IP address of the server.
Enter hostname or IP address of server: <server host name or IP>
3. Enter the file name of the software upgrade package to download.
If needed, the file name can be prefixed with a search path to the directory on the
FTP/SCP/SFTP server.
If you are using anonymous mode when downloading the software package from
an FTP server, the following string is used as the password (for logging purposes):
admin@hostname/IP.isd
