Task list for upgrades

Perform the following steps (detailed in the sections that follow) to upgrade the appliance.

Important

Be sure to download the software image files from the configured DTI source server before beginning any installations.

    Download and install the appliance software image

    To download and install the software image:
    1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

      hostname > enable
      hostname # configure terminal
    2. Check for downloads:

      hostname (config) # fenet image check
      hostname (config) # show fenet image status
    3. Download the software image:

      hostname (config) # fenet image fetch
    4. View the download progress:

      hostname (config) # show fenet image status

         fetch-done: OS image downloaded successfully: image-lms_7.9.0.img 

      Note

      If you have already downloaded the latest software, you may see an error: "Latest image already downloaded and ready to install (error)." To check which images are downloaded, use the following command:

      hostname (config) # show fenet image list

    5. Install the downloaded software image:

      hostname (config) # image install image-lms_7.9.0.img
      hostname (config) # image boot next

      Note

      If an upgrade process is interrupted or fails, the appliance software automatically falls back to the currently installed image.

    6. Save your changes:

      hostname (config) # write memory

    Restart the appliance and accept the EULA

    To restart the appliance and accept the EULA:
    1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

      hostname > enable
      hostname # configure terminal
    2. Restart the appliance:

      hostname (config) # reload
    3. After restarting the appliance, the system could display the Trellix End User License Agreement (EULA). Read the EULA. Click Yes if you agree to its terms, and then click Submit. If you do not accept the EULA, the appliance will not function.

      After accepting the EULA, the login page is displayed. Wait a few minutes before logging in because database records are undergoing an update in preparation for the upgrade.

      Note

      You must access the appliance through the serial port if you want to monitor appliance boot activities. You can enter CLI commands through direct keyboard and monitor connection only before the boot loader begins loading the kernel, for example, to post output, and after the boot is completed.

    Verify the upgrade

    To verify the upgrade:
    1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

      hostname > enable
      hostname # configure terminal
    2. Display the version information for the current system image:

      hostname (config) # show version
