Installing the application upgrade package to version 6.0.2

Before installing the application upgrade package, it is recommended to first create a backup of the current state of each Central Node server to be updated and download it to the hard drive from the application administrator menu. If an error occurs during installation of an application upgrade package or if you need to reinstall Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, you can use your backup copy of the application.

The upgrade is delivered as an upgrade package. The package is included in the application distribution kit.

The version 6.0.2 upgrade package must be installed on Central Node, Sensor, and Sandbox servers of versions 6.0 or 6.0.1. Installation of the upgrade package on the Central Node and Sensor servers depends on the way the application is deployed and used:

• If you are using the application as a high availability cluster, you must install the upgrade package on any server in the cluster with the 'manager' role in Docker swarm. To view the role, use the $ docker node ls command.
• If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, you must install the upgrade package on each Central Node and Sensor server installed on standalone servers. You do not need to disconnect the SCN servers from the PCN to install the upgrade package.
• In the rest of the cases, to install the upgrade package, you must connect to each Central Node and Sensor server over SSH or using the terminal and log in to the management console. You do not need to disconnect Sandbox and Sensor from the Central Node to install the upgrade package.

To install the version 6.0.2 upgrade package on Sandbox servers, follow the separate instructions below.

After installing the upgrade package, you need to further configure the application.

To install the upgrade package on Central Node and Sensor servers:

1. Place the kata-cn-upgrade-6.0.2-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz upgrade package for the Central Node and Sensor components on the server, in the /data directory. If the function of network traffic saving is enabled, make sure that the amount of free disk space is more than 100 GB.
2. Sign in to the management console of the server where you want to install the upgrade package via the SSH protocol or through the terminal.
3. Make sure that the /dev/sda2 file system has more than 100 GB of free space.
4. Unpack the upgrade archive by running the tar xvf /data/kata-cn-upgrade-6.0.2-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz -C /data/ command.
5. Raise the privileges of the user by running sudo -i.
6. Install the upgrade package by running the following commands:

   cd /data/upgrade/

   chmod +x ./install_kata_upgrade.sh

   ./install_kata_upgrade.sh

7. Install the upgrade by running the following commands:

   kata-upgrade --data-dir /data/upgrade/ --password <password of the 'admin' user>.

   If the password contains special characters, the password variable must be specified in the following format: --password '<password>'.

8. Log in again to the management console of the updated server via the SSH protocol or through the terminal.
9. Set the Maximum storage size parameter value, if you are using Sensor with the Central Node component on the server, or the Traffic storage size parameter value, if you are using Sensor on a standalone server. The default value is set to 100 GB after upgrade.

The upgrade package is installed on the Central Node and Sensor servers.

To install the upgrade package on Sandbox servers:

1. Place the kata-sb-upgrade-6.0.2-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz upgrade package for the Sandbox component on the server, in the /tmp directory.
2. Sign in to the management console of the server where you want to install the upgrade package via the SSH protocol or through the terminal.
3. Unpack the upgrade archive by running the tar xzvf /tmp/kata-sb-upgrade-6.0.2-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz -C /tmp/ command.
4. Raise the privileges of the user by running sudo -i.
5. Install the upgrade package by running the following commands:

   cd /tmp/kata-sb-upgrade-6.0.2-x86_64_en-ru

   chmod +x ./patch.sh

   ./patch.sh

6. Wait for the upgrade package to install successfully.

The upgrade package is installed on the Sandbox servers.
