For security reasons, you may want to operate your LiveAssurance server without outside access to the Internet. Given that our product requires outside access to the internet to upgrade to the latest versions, this can pose some difficulties. Because we take security seriously, we have developed an offline process by which you can upgrade the version without having to open your LiveAssurance server to an outside connection.
Procedure
- Download the LiveAssurance upgrade files:
https://indeni-public.s3.amazonaws.com/packages/offline_versions/packages.latest.tar.gz
https://indeni-public.s3.amazonaws.com/packages/offline_versions/indeni.latest.tar.gz
- Log in to the LiveAssurance server using SSH and create an
offline folder and move to
it:
mkdir /home/indeni/offline cd /home/indeni/offlineNote: If the offline folder already exists, ensure that it is empty by deleting or moving any old files or sub-folders, as they may result in the LiveAssurance server attempting to upgrade to the incorrect version. - Transfer the indeni.latest.tar.gz and the packages.latest.tar.gz files via SCP or SFTP to the LiveAssurance server into the /home/indeni/offline folder.
-
Run the
pre-offlinecommand.This command replaces the manual steps required to perform the following tasks:- Unpacking the indeni.latest.tar.gz file. An additional sub-folder is also created (just as it would be with the manual steps) and is named after the current.version.number you are upgrading to.
- Unpacking and installing the indeni-triton.deb package.
-
Upgrade the LiveAssurance server by running
imanageand then choosing #2 to upgrade. -
Enter y when a prompt appears, asking whether you want to perform an offline upgrade.
Note: The upgrade process can take 60 minutes depending on the version you are upgrading from. Contact BlueCat Customer Care if you require further assistance.
