Installation and upgrade


Applies To:	TRITON AP-EMAIL v8.1


	Important To ensure that you install all required components of your email protection solution, we recommend that you select TRITON AP-EMAIL on the Installation Type page of the TRITON Unified Installer, rather than performing a Custom installation of the product. When you select TRITON AP-EMAIL on this page, then TRITON AP-DATA is automatically selected as well. Data loss prevention functions are installed along with email protection functions. A Custom installation does not automatically install TRITON AP-DATA with TRITON AP-EMAIL.


	Warning On the Select Components screen in the TRITON upgrade installer, ensure that the TRITON AP-EMAIL option is selected. This option is required if you are running your email protection system on a V- or X-Series appliance or an on-premises (ESXi server) virtual appliance. The TRITON AP-DATA Email Gateway option applies to a cloud-hosted virtual appliance running with TRITON AP-DATA. See the topic titled "Email Gateway for Microsoft Office 365" in the TRITON AP-DATA Installation Guide for details about this product feature.


	Important Some older V10000 and V5000 appliances are not supported with version 8.0.0 and higher. See V-Series appliances supported with version 8.0 for details.

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 email security blades.

Download the image file (WebsenseEmail81Setup_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.


	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.


	Important See Upgrading Email Protection Solutions for detailed upgrade preparation and process instructions. Ensure that you perform all recommended activities before and after your upgrade, including the repair to your Data module registration.
