Updating the Integration Server and Integration Server Console

The Integration Server and Integration Server Console must be updated using an account that belongs to local administrator group.

Close the Integration Server Console before starting the update.

The update is performed by installing the new version of the Integration Server and the Integration Server Console.

Updating requires at least 4 GB of free space on the drive containing the %ProgramData% folder on the device where the previous version of the Integration Server and Integration Server Console are installed.

You can remove the Integration Server and Integration Server Console in one of the following ways:

• If you use a Windows-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, and in accordance with the recommendations of Kaspersky specialists, you used the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard to install the Integration Server and Integration Server Console, we recommend to also perform the update using the wizard.

  You can update the Integration Server and Integration Server Console by using the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard in interactive mode or in silent mode.

  During the update, you can save a backup copy of the database and settings and Integration Server certificate used to work with a version of Kaspersky Security no lower than 5.2 (including the Kaspersky Security 5.2.1 update).

  If you want to save a backup copy of the database and settings of the Integration Server of the previous version, the upgrade requires additional space on the drive containing the %ProgramData% folder.

  The backup copy of the Integration Server database and settings contains the following data:

  • Accounts for connecting the Integration Server Console, SVM, and Light Agents to the Integration Server.
  • Settings for connecting the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
  • If the solution is used in multitenancy mode: a list of registered tenants and protection statistics of the tenant virtual machines is displayed.
  • Configuration files that define the Integration Server operation settings.

  The backup copy is used to return to using the previous version of the Integration Server if the update produces errors in the operation of the Integration Server (for more details, see the Knowledge Base article). The backup copy of the database and settings of the Integration Server can be deleted automatically when removing the Integration Server, or you can delete it manually. The default path is %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\VIISLA\Backup\VIISData(1). The number in the folder name is incremented by 1 each time an update is done.

  Access to the folder where the backup copy of the database and settings and the Integration Server certificate are saved by default is restricted using an ACL. Administrator rights are required to access this folder.

• If you use a Linux-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard cannot be used to update the Integration Server and Integration Server Console. The update is performed by manually installing the new version of the Integration Server and the Integration Server Console.

After upgrading the Integration Server, we recommend to replace the self-signed SSL certificate of the Integration Server with a more secure certificate. You can create a new certificate and install it using the certificate management utility included with the solution.
