To benefit from the latest enhancements to Security
Center, you must upgrade the expansion servers.
To upgrade, install Security
Center Server onto the
expansion servers, and follow the instructions in the InstallShield Wizard.
Before you begin
Back up all role databases accessed from your expansion server you are
upgrading.
What you should know
If a reboot warning
message box opens during the upgrade, accept the message and continue with the
upgrade procedure. You must reboot after completing the
upgrade.
Procedure
-
Install
Security
Center
5.9 on your expansion server.
Use the Expansion server installation type.
If you have
Genetec™ Advantage and are subscribed to our
Product Improvement Program, and if the version you want to install corresponds
to the most up to date version, you have the option to perform the upgrade
through GUS instead of the installer.
If you choose to continue with GUS, the Installer program ends and
automatically connects you to the Main GUS. The Main GUS displays a
centralized view of all enrolled machines and sends update notifications to
them. GUS always backs up the Directory database for you, so you don't need
to do it before the upgrade. For more information, see About the Genetec™ Update Service.
If you choose to
continue with the installer, the Installer program automatically detects an
earlier version of Security
Center
and issues warnings and recommendations. Read the messages carefully. If you
continue, the Installer program upgrades Security
Center to 5.9.
-
If you are upgrading a Directory server (Failover Directory configuration),
make sure that on the Directory Database Backup page, you
clear the option Automatically back up the Directory database before
restarting the system to avoid backing up the Directory database
twice.
-
Repeat the steps for all expansion servers in your system.
After you finish
To verify that all servers in your system are active, log on to the main server
with
Config
Tool. In the
Network
view task, all the servers in your system should be shown in black, which means
they are active. If some of the roles are still not active, you might need to
upgrade the Directory
database.
