Before upgrading Forcepoint security solutions

The upgrade process guides you through upgrading all components on the selected machine.

  • You cannot choose which components to upgrade.
  • Partial upgrades are not supported.
  • Upgrades must proceed in the exact order listed in Upgrade procedure for Forcepoint security solutions.

When upgrading the Forcepoint management server, if upgrade fails for any component except Forcepoint Management Infrastructure, you can either continue to upgrade the rest of the components or exit the process and modify component settings.

  • You cannot continue if the infrastructure upgrade fails.
  • You cannot roll back a component that was upgraded successfully.

After upgrade, your system has the same configuration as before the upgrade. Apart from the option to edit the Forcepoint Email Security database IP address if it has changed since installation, the upgrade process does not allow you to change your configuration or settings.
