81 Maintaining your security gateway
Configuring and running LiveUpdate
LiveUpdating components
LiveUpdate is run separately for each content security component.
You can schedule LiveUpdate for each component, or you can manually run a LiveUpdate of a
component at any time.
Note:
If you run LiveUpdate in a clustered environment, only the components on the security gateway
where you issue the command are updated. To prevent having different definitions on the nodes of the
cluster, you should schedule LiveUpdate to be run at the same time on each cluster member.
The tasks that you can perform are:
■
Scheduling LiveUpdate of a component
■
Adding a LiveUpdate server for a component
■
Specifying an HTTP proxy for LiveUpdate
■
Running LiveUpdate manually
Scheduling LiveUpdate of a component
You schedule a LiveUpdate session separately for each of the components that has an update license.

Once scheduled, the component update takes place automatically.
