v8.3.x web protection software upgrade instructions (Windows)
Deployment and Installation Center | Web Protection Solutions | Version 7.8.x -8.2.x
Use the version 8.3.x TRITON Setup program for Windows (TRITON83xSetup.exe) to perform the upgrade. The installer detects:
*
That older version components are installed
*
Which components are installed
*
The database engine version
 
* 
Important 
Follow the upgrade order provided in Upgrading web or web and data protection solutions from v7.8.4 or later to ensure that you are upgrading components in the correct order.
Upgrade the Policy Broker machine first, then any machines running Policy Server. Distributed components on other machines must be upgraded after Policy Broker and Policy Server.
Before beginning:
*
If you performed an intermediate upgrade, and you have not restarted the upgraded machines, perform a restart before beginning the v8.3.x upgrade.
*
Perform a full system backup. See the Backup and Restore FAQ for your version for instructions.
 
* 
Important 
Policy enforcement and logging services are not available while you are performing the upgrade. To reduce the impact on network users, run the upgrade after hours, or during a quiet time on the network.
Perform the following procedure on each machine running web protection components.
1.
Make sure that no administrators are logged on to the TRITON console.
2.
Log on to the installation machine with an account having domain and local administrator privileges.
 
* 
Important 
If you are upgrading Log Server on this machine and it uses a Windows trusted connection to access the Log Database, you must log on to this machine using the same trusted account.
3.
Stop Log Server and disable SQL Server Agent jobs.
See Preparing the Log Database for upgrade.
4.
Close all applications and stop any antivirus software.
 
* 
Warning 
Be sure to close the Windows Event Viewer, or the upgrade may fail.
5.
Go to the Downloads tab of the forcepoint.com My Account page to download the TRITON Unified Installer.
*
The installer file is TRITON83xSetup.exe.
*
Installer files occupy approximately 2 GB of disk space.
6.
Double-click TRITON83xSetup.exe to launch the installer. A progress dialog box appears, as files are extracted.
7.
The installer detects web protection components from an earlier version and asks how you want to proceed.
Click OK.
8.
On the installer Introduction screen, click Next.
Note the Installer Dashboard remains on-screen, behind the installer screens mentioned in the remaining steps.
9.
On the Upgrade screen, select Start the upgrade, then click Next.
10.
When you click Next, a Stopping All Services progress message appears. Wait for the services to be stopped.
The Pre-Upgrade Summary screen appears when the services have been stopped.
In some cases, the installer may be unable to stop the web protection services. If the services have not been stopped after approximately 10 minutes, then stop them manually. You can leave the installer running when you do so. Use the WebsenseAdmin stop command, or the Windows Services tool, to stop the services. Once you have manually stopped the services, return to the installer.
11.
On the Pre-Upgrade Summary screen, review the list of components that will be upgraded, and then click Install.
Critical files are backed up and install properties initialized. And then the Installing... screen appears.
The upgrade process checks for a required version of Microsoft SQL Server Native Client and related tools and installs them, if necessary.
12.
Wait for the Upgrade Complete screen to appear. Click Done to exit the installer.
13.
Reboot the machine.
 
* 
Important 
The machine must be rebooted to complete the upgrade process.
14.
If you stopped your antivirus software, restart it.
15.
Re-enable SQL Server Agent jobs if you disabled them prior to upgrade.
See Preparing the Log Database for upgrade.
16.
If you have an integration product installed, additional upgrade steps may be necessary. See:
*
Integrating Web Filter & Security with Cisco
*
Integrating Web Filter & Security with Citrix
*
Integrating Web Filter & Security with TMG
*
Installing for Universal Integrations
17.
Repeat the upgrade procedure on each machine running web protection components, in the recommended order (see Web protection upgrade order).
All components that interact must be upgraded to the same version.
If you have complete installations in separate locations that do not interact, they do not have to run the same web protection software version.
To add additional components to a machine after upgrade, run the installer again on the same machine. This time, the installer will ask if you want to add components. See Adding or modifying Windows components.
New security certificate
After upgrade, the first time you launch the management console (TRITON Manager), the browser displays a certificate error.
This appears because the management console uses a certificate signed by Forcepoint LLC, which is not a recognized certificate authority.
When you install the certificate in your browser, communication with the management console is secured, and the certificate warning is not displayed again (in this browser).
