Upgrading Email Security Gateway Solutions
Deployment and Installation Center | Email Security Gateway Solutions | Version 7.8.x
 
The Email Security Gateway v7.8.x upgrade process includes V-Series appliance or virtual appliance components, along with TRITON Unified Security Center and Email Security Log Server Windows components. A virtual appliance upgrade applies only to version 7.8.0 and later.
If you are running Email Security Gateway version 7.8.0 (with appliance version 7.8.1), 7.8.2, or 7.8.3, you can upgrade directly to version 7.8.4. You must perform intermediate upgrades if you are running any other previous version of Email Security Gateway.
The following upgrade paths are available from version 7.6.x:
*
7.6.0 > 7.7.0 > 7.8.0 (with V-Series appliance version 7.8.1) > 7.8.4
*
7.6.2 > 7.7.0 > 7.8.0 (with V-Series appliance version 7.8.1) > 7.8.4
*
7.6.7 > 7.7.0 > 7.8.0 (with V-Series appliance version 7.8.1) > 7.8.4
Any version 7.6.x Email Security component that is currently installed on Windows Server 2003 must be migrated to Windows Server 2008 R2 before the upgrade to v7.7.0. Migration to Windows Server 2012 may be performed after an upgrade to v7.8.0.
The following upgrade paths are available from version 7.7.x:
*
7.7.0 > 7.8.0 (with V-Series appliance version 7.8.1) > 7.8.4
*
7.7.3 > 7.8.0 (with V-Series appliance version 7.8.1) > 7.8.4
You should ensure that third-party components are upgraded as well, to work with the new Email Security Gateway version.
We recommend that you perform a system backup in the event your system experiences a power outage during the upgrade process. Recovery procedures are also included in case they are needed.
