Upgrade instructions
V-Series Appliance Upgrade Guide | Upgrades to v7.8.1
1. If you have multiple V-Series appliances, read
before
following this procedure.
2. Take all precautions to ensure that power to the V-Series appliance is not
interrupted during the upgrade. Power failure can result in operating system and
software component corruption.
3. Back up appliance configuration and settings. See
. You can also do a backup at the start of the
upgrade process.
4. If Policy Broker and Policy Database are installed on an off-appliance server,
make sure they’re upgraded to version 7.8.1 and are running. You should
simultaneously upgrade all TRITON services that are installed on the off-box
server with Policy Broker and Policy Database.
5. The upgrade involves two steps: installing a hotfix that goes with your appliance
version, and then installing a patch. The patch consists of an
rpm
file and an
img
file. The hotfix enables you to download and upload these very large patch files.
Important
V-Series appliance services are not available while the
patch is being applied and until the appliance finishes
automatically restarting twice. See
.
It is best to perform the upgrade at a time when service
demand is low.
Important
You
must install the appropriate Hotfix 90
for your
version before you upload or download the upgrade patch
files to the appliance, or the upgrade will not succeed.
