Upgrading Gaia Security Management Server and Standalone

A Security Management Server upgraded to R80.10 can enforce and manage Gateways from earlier versions. You do not have to upgrade the Security Management Server and all of the Gateways at the same time. Gateways that runs versions lower than the version of their Management Server, cannot support all new features.

Important - Before you upgrade:

• Back up your current configuration.
• See the R80.10 Release Notes for the supported appliances, system and memory requirements, and deployments.
• Use the Pre-Upgrade Verification tool to reduce the risk of incompatibility with your existing environment. The Pre-Upgrade Verification tool generates a detailed report of the actions to take before an upgrade.
• For upgrades from an R80 Security Management Server to R80.10:
  • Upgrades are only supported with CPUSE - In-place upgrade of the Security Management Server.

    To learn how to upgrade with CPUSE, see sk92449.

  • Use the Sessions view in SmartConsole to publish or discard all sessions before you start the upgrade. In SmartConsole, go to the Manage & Settings tab > Sessions > Actions.
• Upgrades from R77.x to R80.10 are supported with:
  • CPUSE - In-place upgrade of the Security Management Server.
  • Advanced migration - Export of the database from the source R77.x Security Management Server and import to the target 80.10 Security Management Server.

Note - After the upgrade of the Security Management Server is complete, make sure to run Install Database.
