If you upgraded the application to version 6.0 or installed version 6.0 of the application, skip this step and install the version 6.0.2 upgrade package.

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.

To install the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform 6.0.1 upgrade package, Central Node version 6.0 and Sensor version 6.0 must be installed. The upgrade package installation depends on how 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.
  • If you are using the Sensor installed on a standalone server, to install the upgrade package, you need to connect to each Sensor via the SSH protocol or through the terminal and enter the management console. You do not need to disconnect Sensor from Central Node to install the upgrade package.
  • In other cases, to install the upgrade package, you need to connect to the server via the SSH protocol or through the terminal and enter the management console of the Central Node.

To install the application upgrade package:

  1. Place the application upgrade package 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 package by running the tar xvf /data/upgrade.tar.gz -C /data/ command.
  5. If you are upgrading the application installed as a high availability cluster based on the Astra Linux operating system, run the following command:

    mv /data/upgrade/ubuntu_image_versions.json /data/upgrade/astra_image_versions.json

  6. Increase the privileges of the user by running sudo -i.
  7. Install the upgrade package by running the following commands:

    cd /data/upgrade/

    chmod +x ./install_kata_upgrade.sh

    ./install_kata_upgrade.sh

  8. 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>'.

  9. Log in again to the management console of the updated server via the SSH protocol or through the terminal.
  10. 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 will be installed.
