Upgrading Security Analytics from a TAR file

Products

• Security Analytics

Issue/Introduction

Instead of using the Settings > Upgrade page on the web UI, you may want to install the software upgrade from a TAR file.

Environment

Must have root access to the appliance and be able to transfer a file to the appliance using SCP or the equivalent.

Resolution

1. Obtain the TAR from the Broadcom Support Portal under "My Downloads" and look for the .TAR file.
2. On the appliance log in as root.
3. Go to the /ds/upgrade directory and delete any files or folders that are there.
4. Transfer the TAR to /home using SCP or the equivalent.
5. As root, run the upgrade script.

/etc/utils/verify-reboot-upgrade.sh /home/atpsa-version_string-x86_64-DVD.tar

7. When the script has successfully run, issue a reboot command from the command line.

The upgrade process is fully automated at this point.  The server will reboot twice before the upgrade is finished.
