Upgrading V-Series Appliances
SNMP settings
Upgrade to v8.3.0 does not preserve SNMP settings.
Document your existing
settings for reapplication after upgrade.
Back up appliance configuration and settings
Perform a
full appliance configuration
backup:
1. Log on to Appliance Manager and go to the
Administration > Backup Utility
page.
2. Under Perform Backup, select
Full Appliance Configuration
as the backup type.
3. Click
Run Backup Now
.
4. When the backup file appears in the
Local Backup Files
list, click the backup file
name. When prompted,
save the backup file to an off-appliance location
.
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 to make room for the new version.
To ensure that the current Content Gateway log is retained (content_gateway.out),
download it to a location off of the appliance.
1. In the Appliance Manager, go to
Administration >Logs
.
2. Select the
Content Gateway
module and then
Download entire log file
.
3. Click
Submit
and specify a location to save the file.
Content Gateway Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) settings
IWA domain joins should be preserved through the upgrade process. However, in case
there is an error and 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.
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 higher, an email
address is required for each administrator account (except group accounts).
