Upgrading CySight
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:08 pm
Please request the Upgrade script from support@cysight.ai and please quote your LicenseID. Access to Upgrades are restricted to customers under maintenance only.
If you are upgrading from a pre version 8.x.x we recommend that you contact us for assistance as your current version of mysql may require manual upgrade.
Some older versions will require a full backup and re-installation and restore to upgrade all 3rd Party configurations. If you are unsure let us help you check.
We recommend you plan your upgrade with access to our support in mind.
Its always good practice to backup before you upgrade.
To run the Linux Upgrade:
1. Login the CySight Linux system using ssh;
Use root user;
2. Create a local directory and download the Upgrade script;
eg create /home/cysight/vA.B.C
Where A = Major Version, B = Release, C = Patch Number
Put the Upgrade script into the created sub-directory and run:
tar -xfz CySight_Upgrade_vA.B.C.tar.gz
3. Run the following command:
./install_upgrade.sh
The script will stop all services perform all necessary database changes and upgrade the software.
Please ensure that you take note of your current version and ensure that it is supported by the upgrade process. If you are not certain, please don't hesitate to ask us.

Upgrade CySight on Windows.
1. Login the CySight system using Remote Desktop;
Use Administrator user;
2. Create a local directory and download the Upgrade script;
eg create c:\DigiToll\cysight\vA.B.C
Where A = Major Version, B = Release, C = Patch Number
Put the Upgrade script into the created sub-directory and run:
CySight_Upgrade_vA.B.C.exe
3. Wait for the upgrade processes to finish completely. CySight shuts down nicely to ensure the least possible data loss and the steps to upgrading can take longer if you have an older version.

Depending on your version Maintenance license keys are also required to upgrade.Please send us information on your current deployment including operating system environment as well as your current License ID found under Configuration>Administrator>License
