Upgrading a Data Security protector or mobile agent
Deployment and Installation Center | Data Security Solutions | Version 7.7.x
Do the following to upgrade your protector or mobile agent from version to v7.7.x.
See Upgrading Data Security to v7.7.x to see if you can upgrade directly from your version or if you must perform interim upgrade steps.
 
* 
Important 
If you are upgrading your protector to new hardware, be sure to keep the original IP address/host name if you want to retain settings and information from the original machine.
If you assign a new IP, the protector's settings are cleared to default when it registers with the management server. In this case, you should manually delete the protector with the original IP address from the system modules page of TRITON - Data Security.
1.
Upgrade the TRITON management server as described above. This sequence is critical, because if you upgrade the protector or mobile agent first, it stops communicating with the management server. If you upgrade the management server first, it continues communicating with the components until they are upgraded.
2.
Copy the file, protector-update-7.7.x-yyyy, into the directory /tmp where x-yyyy is the latest version and build number.
3.
Enter the command:
chmod +x /tmp/protector-update-7.7.x-yyyy
4.
If you are upgrading to v7.7.0 from v7.6.8, log on as root and run the following command:
rm -r /var/tmp/yum_update_cache
5.
Run the following command:
bash ./tmp/protector-update-7.7.x-yyyy
6.
Answer Y on the "Are you sure?" question, and complete the wizard, accepting the defaults.
7.
Restart the protector or mobile agent machine when the wizard completes.
8.
If you have not already, log onto the machine as root.
9.
Run the following command to re-register the protector or mobile agent with the management server, then follow the prompts in the wizard:
wizard securecomm
10.
If you are upgrading to v7.7.0 from v7.6.8, run the following command:
rm -r /var/tmp/yum_update_cache
11.
In TRITON - Data Security, click Deploy.
12.
It is strongly recommended you wait 30 minutes before routing traffic though the upgraded system.
When you upgrade a protector, it takes time for it to download the information necessary for resolving source and destination resources such as people, computers, and printers. Routing traffic through the system before this is complete may result in false positives and negatives.
