Upgrading from a previous version of the application

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks version 3.0.1 does not support upgrading from a previous version of the application.

In Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks version 3.0, you can upgrade a previous version of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks (beginning with version 2.9). The upgrade is performed by using the application components centralized installation script.

The scenario for upgrading a previous version consists of the following steps:

1. Creating a backup copy of data from the previous version of the application

   To create a backup copy of data from the previous version of the application:

   1. On the computer that performs Server functions for the previous version of the application, copy the kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh script from the distribution kit of the current version of the application to a folder of your choice.
   2. Go to the folder that contains the copied kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh file and run the following command:

      sudo bash kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh --migrate ./<name of folder for backup files>

      where <name of folder for backup files> is the relative path to the folder where the files of the backup copy will be created (this folder does not have to be created in advance).

      You will be prompted to select the necessary action.

   3. Select Backup.

      The installation script verifies the required conditions. After this verification, you will see successive prompts to select the sections to copy from the database of the previous version of the application. Prompts are displayed for the following sections:

      • Registered events
      • Saved traffic for events
      • Network map data
   4. In the prompts that appear, indicate the sections for which you need to make backup copies. If you want to create a backup copy of the section, select Yes. If you do not need to create a backup copy of the section, select No.

      After you select the database sections, the script will begin backing up the data. Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

2. Removing the previous version of the application

   This step is necessary if you want to install components of the current version of the application to the same node on which the Server of the previous version is installed.

   If the Server of the current version of the application will be installed on a different node, you need to copy the folder containing the kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh script and the created backup files to the computer of the node where the Server will be installed.

   To remove the previous version of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks, you can use the kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh script from the current version of the application and perform the procedure for centralized removal.

3. Installation and initial configuration of the current version of the application

   At this step, you need to install components of the current version of the application. To do so, you can perform the procedure for centralized installation of application components.

   After installing components, you need to perform initial configuration of the application.

4. Loading data from the backup copy to the current version of the application

   To load data from created backup files into the current version of the application:

   1. On the computer that performs Server functions for the current version of the application, go to the folder that contains the kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh script and the backup files that were created, and run the following command:

      sudo bash kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh --migrate ./<name of folder containing backup files>

      where <name of folder containing backup files> is the relative path to the folder containing the files of the backup copy.

      You will be prompted to select the necessary action.

   2. Select Restore.

      The installation script verifies the required conditions. After this verification, you will see a prompt to select an option for loading data from backup files. You can select one of the following options:

      1. Load data from the database and from the security policy.
      2. Load data only from the database.
      3. Load data only from the security policy.
   3. Select the relevant option.

      The script will begin to load data from the backup files into the application.

   4. If you selected an option that includes loading data from the security policy, you will be prompted to enter the account credentials of a user with the Administrator role before you can apply the security policy. If this is the case, enter the account credentials of a user with the Administrator role that was created in the current version of the application.

      Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.
