Upgrading Appliance Software

Figure 41 Upgrade software on multiple appliances from a central location

CAUTION

Appliances must be rebooted for the new software to take effect. Rebooting an appliance interrupts traffic on the data ports for several minutes. During the reboot operation all packets are discarded.

CAUTION

For ETEPs, we recommend rebooting immediately after upgrading. Any configuration changes that are made between the upgrade and subsequent reboot will be lost when the appliance reboots. This includes changes to policies and keys (including rekeys), certificates, and appliance configuration.

To upgrade software:

1From the CD for the PEPs that you want to upgrade, copy the folder for your appliance model to your default FTP directory.

For example, if you are upgrading ETEP PEPs copy the ETEP folder to your FTP directory.

2In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view. If you are managing the PEPs in-line, upgrade the remote site appliances first before upgrading the data center appliance, as shown in Figure 40.

3On the Tools menu, click Upgrade Software.

4Enter the FTP server site information for the upgrade software, as described in Table 36. Do not use the following special characters in the FTP user name and password: @ : ? # < > &.

Optional. Click Verify to confirm that the site is reachable. If it is not, ETEMS displays a message indicating the nature of the problem.

5Decide when to reboot the upgraded appliances. Appliances must be rebooted for the new software to take effect. Select the Reboot after upgrade check box to automatically reboot the appliances immediately following a successful upgrade. Clear the check box to reboot the appliances at a later time, for example after working hours. See “Rebooting Appliances” on page 102 for more information about rebooting appliances.
