Installation and upgrade
60132 | Release Notes | X-Series Appliances | Updated 26-August-2014
New X-Series appliances are delivered pre-loaded with the software needed for provisioning via the firstboot script.
The Quick Start poster, Getting Started guide, and Switch Configuration guide are your comprehensive resources for installing the physical unit, running firstboot, and completing initial configuration.
Upgrading
A comprehensive, step-by-step is available to guide you through upgrading from v7.8.2 or v7.8.3. See these X-Series upgrade instructions.
When planning your upgrade consider:
*
In all cases the upgrade order is:
a.
The full policy source server
b.
User directory and filtering (policy lite) security blades, and non-appliance servers that host Policy Server
c.
Filtering only security blades
*
If you are currently using link aggregation and plan to enable VLAN support after upgrade, you must disable link aggregation before enabling VLAN support.
*
If you plan to enable VLAN support, you will have to update the configuration of switches A1 and A2. Use the switch configuration tool provided for that purpose. See Switch Configuration guide.
*
You can download the upgrade patch files directly to each security blade. Or, you can download the patch files from mywebsense.com to a remote filestore, and then upload the files from the filestore to each blade.
