New for v8.5.6 Forcepoint Appliances
Sizing update for Web and Email OVAs
As part of v8.5.6 release, Forcepoint brings support for larger system partition size on virtual appliances.
This is an optional change that customers can decide to apply on Web OVA to benefit from a partition size of 64GB instead of the default 52GB. For the Email OVA, default system partition size is 32GB and can be extended to 44GB.
This change can be done by customers on v8.5.4 and v8.5.5 by increasing the system size via a specific hotfix prior to upgrading to v8.5.6; the change will be persistent in a direct upgrade to v8.5.6.
Similarly, customers who have already installed or upgraded to v8.5.6 can also apply a hotfix to make this change.
The Hotfix IDs are:
- APP-8.5.4-300 for v8.5.4
- APP-8.5.5-300 for v8.5.5
- APP-8.5.6-300 for v8.5.6
To apply the hotfix, follow the instructions provided in this Knowledge Article.
