Applies to:                                         
*
Web Filter, Web Security, Web Security Gateway, and Web Security Gateway Anywhere, v7.0.x, v7.1.x, v7.5.x, and v7.6.x
If your current Websense Web Security software is running on hardware or software that is no longer supported in v7.7.x, the upgrade process also includes an operating system migration.
Depending on your current operating system and hardware, it may be possible to update the operating system in place (on the existing machine). Always back up your Websense software before performing an operating system update.
Whether you update the operating system in place or move to another machine, make sure that the machine meets the hardware requirements for your target Websense software version: v7.7.x.
This migration guide provides the steps for migrating core Web Security components from one operating system to another. If your solution includes Websense Content Gateway, see Upgrading Red Hat Enterprise Linux during Content Gateway upgrade for Content Gateway operating system migration instructions.
To prepare for the migration process, continue with Order of migration and upgrade steps.
