Upgrading Kaspersky Security Center Linux
You can install version 15 of Administration Server on a device that has an earlier version of Administration Server installed (starting from version 13). When upgrading to version 15, all data and settings from the previous version of Administration Server are preserved.
Before upgrading Kaspersky Security Center Linux, ensure that you use the versions of the operating system and DBMS that are supported by version 15 of Administration Server. If necessary, you can move Administration Server to another device with later versions of the operating system and DBMS.
You can upgrade a version of Administration Server by using one of the following methods:
- By using the Kaspersky Security Center Linux installation file
- By creating the Administration Server data backup, installing a new Administration Server version, and restoring the Administration Server data from the backup
During the upgrade, concurrent use of the DBMS by Administration Server and another application is strictly forbidden.
If your network includes several Administration Servers, you have to upgrade every Server manually. Kaspersky Security Center Linux does not support centralized upgrade.
Also, you have to upgrade Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to a new version.
When you upgrade Kaspersky Security Center Linux from a previous version, all the installed plug-ins of supported Kaspersky applications are kept. Administration Server plug-in and Network Agent plug-in are upgraded automatically. We recommend creating a backup copy of the Administration Server data before starting the upgrade.
