Installation and upgrade
Topic 70146 | Release Notes | TRITON AP-EMAIL | Version 8.0.1 | Updated: 01-Jun-2015
Applies To:
TRITON AP-EMAIL v8.0.1
If you are installing the on-premises email protection system for the first time, see Installing Websense Appliance-Based Solutions.
If you are upgrading from a previous email protection version, see Upgrading Email Protection Solutions.
Requirements
On-premises TRITON AP-EMAIL is supported on the following platforms:
*
Websense V-Series appliance (V10000 or V5000)
*
Websense X-Series modular chassis security blade (X10G)
See the X-Series appliance Getting Started Guide and Command Line Interface (CLI) Guide for information about setting up and configuring an X-Series modular chassis and security blades.
*
Virtual appliance (ESXi VMware version 4.0 or later)
Download the image file (WebsenseEmail801Setup_VA.ova) from the MyWebsense downloads page. See the virtual appliance Quick Start Guide for deployment information.
* 
Note 
You may encounter a set of warning messages during virtual appliance installation. These postfix warnings do not affect virtual appliance operation.
Appliance clusters may include a mix of V10000 G2 and V10000 G3 appliances. Please contact Websense Technical Support for help if you want to deploy this type of appliance cluster.
You cannot cluster a V-Series appliance or an X-Series security blade with a virtual appliance.
The TRITON Manager and Email Log Server are hosted on a separate Windows Server machine. (This server must be running an English language instance of Windows Server.)
Microsoft SQL Server is used for the Email Log Database. See System requirements for this version for detailed information about supported applications and versions.
* 
Important 
Although a version 8.0 and later Email management console can allow an earlier version appliance (e.g., version 7.8.4) to be added on the Email Appliances page, the management settings for that appliance are read-only and cannot be modified.
For optimal system efficiency and performance, we strongly recommend that manager console and appliance versions match.
If your Microsoft SQL Server installation uses a named instance, port 1433 is opened on the firewall even if you specify a different port during TRITON AP-EMAIL installation. You must manually change this port setting after installation is complete.

TRITON AP-EMAIL on-premises version 8.0.1 supports the use of the following Web browsers:
*
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8, 9, 10, and 11 (desktop interface only) Compatibility view is not supported.
