Policy Broker: Linux upgrade instructions

Steps

  1. Make sure no administrators are logged on to the management console.
  2. Log on the installation machine with administrator privileges (typically, as root).
  3. Close all applications and stop any antivirus software.
  4. Check the etc/hosts file. If there is no host name for the machine, add one.
  5. Create a setup directory for the installer files such as /root/Websense_setup.
  6. Download the Linux installer file Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz from the Forcepoint Customer Hub. See Procedure to download the Linux installer for detailed information.
  7. Uncompress the installer file using:
    tar -xvzf <installer tar archive>
  8. Use one of the following commands to launch it:

    To launch the graphical installer (available only on English versions of Linux):

    ./install.sh -g

    To launch the command-line installer, omit the -g switch:

    ./install.sh

  9. On the Introduction screen, click Next.
    Note: These instructions refer to the graphical installer screens. If you are using the command-line installer, the same prompts appear. Enter the menu-item number or character, corresponding to the button described in each step.
  10. On the Subscription Agreement screen, click I accept the terms of the Subscription Agreement and Next.
  11. On the Upgrade screen, select Start the upgrade and then click Next.
  12. When you click Next, a “Stopping All Services” progress message appears. Wait for services to be stopped.

    In some cases, the installer may be unable to stop the services. If this occurs, stop them manually using the /opt/Websense/WebsenseDaemonControl command. Once you have manually stopped the services, return to the installer.

  13. On the Pre-Upgrade Summary screen, review the list of web protection components that will be upgraded, and then click Next.
    Critical files are backed up and install properties initialized, then the Installing... screen appears.
  14. Wait for the Upgrade Complete screen to appear. Click Done to exit the installer.
  15. Reboot the machine.
    Important: The machine must be rebooted to complete the upgrade process.
  16. If you stopped your antivirus software, restart it.
