5Updating the SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance

The System > Advanced page of the appliance interface is used to update the SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance to a newer build or version.

To update the SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance, perform the following steps:

1.Download the updater file from MySonicWALL. The file name is in the format: es-vmware-updater-x.x.x.xxxx-3440i-der-signed.sh

Note: Do not rename the updater file.

2.Log on to the appliance interface of the SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance and navigate to the System > Advanced page.

3.Scroll down to the Miscellaneous Settings section. Click Browse and select the es- vmware-updater-x.x.x.xxxx-3440i-der-signed.shfile on your local system.

4. Click Apply to update your virtual appliance with the new software.

Backup and Restore

Note that all configuration data resides on the Central Console (CC). Because there is really no stored or persistent data on the Remote Agent (RA), taking a snapshot of an RA and restoring it at a later time will not cause issues with other RAs. Any time a new RA is brought online and associated with a CC, the settings are replicated out to the RA.
