Summary of upgrade procedure

Perform Pre-upgrade activities.

If you are upgrading a deployment that includes Forcepoint Web Security, upgrade the Full policy source machine (Policy Broker/Policy Database). If the Full policy source is located on an off-appliance server, follow the instructions in Upgrade Instructions for Forcepoint Web Security. If the Full policy source machine is an X10G, upgrade that blade first.

Important:

All Forcepoint components on the Full policy source machine are upgraded when Policy Broker and Policy Database are upgraded.

The upgraded Policy Broker and Policy Database services must be running and available for appliance upgrades to succeed.

Steps

  1. Download the upgrade package and install it.
  2. Perform Post-upgrade activities.
  3. Upgrade the Forcepoint management server (if not upgraded when Policy Broker/Policy Database were upgraded), and other servers that host Forcepoint components.
