Upgrading
If you chose to activate the new configuration, once the engine is successfully upgraded, the
machine is automatically rebooted and the upgraded engine is brought to the online state.
If you are upgrading a Sensor cluster, we recommend beginning the upgrade on the next node
only when the upgraded node is back online. StoneGate operates normally with two different
versions of the engines online during the upgrade.
Note that the engines have two partitions. When an engine is upgraded, the inactive partition is
used. When the upgrade is finished, the active partition is switched. The earlier configuration is
kept on the inactive partition. If there is an error during the upgrade, you can use the
sg-
toggle-active
command to roll back to the previous engine version. See
(page 89) for more information.
Upgrading Engines Locally
It is also possible to upgrade the engines locally at the engine site as described in this section.
Upgrading locally requires a physical connection to the engine using a monitor and keyboard or
a serial cable.
During a Sensor cluster upgrade process, it is possible to have the upgraded nodes online and
operational side by side with the older version nodes.
Upgrading from an Engine Installation CD-ROM
Follow the procedure below to upgrade StoneGate engines to the latest version locally from a
CD-ROM that you have created from an
.iso
image downloaded from the Stonesoft website or
shipped to you by Stonesoft.
To upgrade the engine from an engine installation CD-ROM
1.
(
Recommended
) Log in to the node as
root
with the password you set for the engine (you
can set the password through the Management Client).
2.
Insert the StoneGate engine installation CD-ROM into the engine’s CD drive.
3.
Reboot the node from the CD-ROM with the command
reboot
(
recommended
) or by cycling
the power (if you cannot log in). You are promoted to select the upgrade type.
What’s Next?
The upgrade is now complete.
What’s Next?
If the hardware has a CD drive (a USB CD-ROM drive can be used) and you have a full
StoneGate installation CD-ROM, proceed to
