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 installing an application upgrade package fails, or if you need to reinstall Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, you can use the backup copy of the application.
We also recommend learning about the limitations of the version to which you are upgrading.
You cannot migrate from the non-high-availability version of the application to the high availability version by upgrading it — if you are using the non-high-availability version of the application, you can only install the non-high-availability version during the upgrade, and vice versa.
Upgrading the application involves the following steps:
The application does not have a procedure for upgrading the component. You must install version 7.1 of the component.
After installing the component, you need to set the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines. The default value is 48.
When installing the component on a VMware ESXi virtual machine, you must set up a configuration described in Calculations for the Sandbox component section.
If the component is deployed on the Astra Linux operating system, and you want to use the certified version of the application, you must upgrade the component to version 7.1.1. If you do not need certification, you can upgrade the component to version 7.1.2.
In this case, follow one of the following instructions: Upgrading Central Node installed on a server or Upgrading Central Node installed as a cluster.
In this case, you need to follow the instructions in the Upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform from version 7.1 to version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 section.
In this case, follow one of the following instructions: Upgrading Central Node installed on a server or Upgrading Central Node installed as a cluster.
In this case, you need to follow the instructions in the Upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform from version 7.1 to version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 section.
In this case, follow one of the following instructions: Upgrading Central Node installed on a server or Upgrading Central Node installed as a cluster.
In this case, you need to follow the instructions in the Upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform from version 7.1 to version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 section.
The functionality of versions 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 is identical.
If you are using version 7.1.2 of the application and want to switch to version 7.1.1, you can deploy version 7.1.1 and transfer your data from version 7.1.2 to version 7.1.1. To do this, you need to create a backup copy of version 7.1.2 and use it to restore data on the 7.1.1 server. For more information, see the Backing up and restoring data section.
If you have used the the Central Node 7.0.3 component on a single server or as a cluster for more than six months, we strongly recommend running the fix_old_slots.sh script to clean up the disk of the server or cluster servers before upgrading. You can get the script file and instructions for its use by contacting the Technical Support Service.
Versions earlier than 7.0.3 cannot be upgraded to versions 7.1.1 or 7.1.2. If you are using an older version of the application, you must upgrade Central Node to version 7.0.3 in the following order: 3.7 → 3.7.1, 3.7.1 → 3.7.2, 3.7.2 → 4.0, 4.0 → 4.1, 4.1 → 5.0, 5.0 → 5.1, 5.1 → 6.0, 6.0 → 6.0.2, 6.0.2 → 6.1, 6.1 → 7.0.3.
If you have connected and configured external storage for Embedded Sensor, after the update, you need to follow the steps of the Restoring data in external storage for the Sensor component instructions.
The application does not have a procedure for upgrading the component. You need to install version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 of the component, keeping in mind the recommendations.
