Upgrading V-Series Appliances
Content Gateway logs
If the appliance hosts TRITON AP-WEB (Web Security Gateway / Anywhere), during
the upgrade, depending on their size, older Content Gateway logs may be
automatically removed by the upgrade procedure to make room for the new version.
To ensure that all Content Gateway logs are retained, you can download the Content
Gateway logging directory.
1. In the Appliance Manager, go to
Administration >Logs
.
2. Select the
Websense Content Gateway
module and then
Download entire log
file
.
3. Click
Submit
and specify a location to save the file.
Policy databases and TRITON databases are not affected by the upgrade.
Content Gateway Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) settings
IWA domain joins should be preserved through the upgrade process. However, in case
the IWA domain joins are dropped, make a record of the settings before starting the
upgrade. Log on to Content Gateway and record the IWA settings, including the
names of domains to which IWA is joined. Keep this record where you can easily
retrieve it after the upgrade.
Administrator accounts
Make sure administrator accounts authenticated by a directory service have an email
address specified in the directory service. In versions 7.8.1 and later, an email address
is required for each administrator account (except group accounts).

V-Series appliance services are not available while the
patch is being applied and until the appliance completes
restarting. See

It is best to perform the upgrade at a time when service
demand is low.
