Data Center Security

Hi Guys,

By regulations i need urgent upgrade SCSP 5.2.9 to DCS:SA 6.5. I have several questions:

1. For upgrade de agents 5.2.9 is necesary uninstall the agent on servers with this version..?

2. If i upgrade the server first to 6.5, the server is available for manage the clients with 5.2.9 version agent..?

3. Could help me with best practice guide..?

Thank you very much.

1)  You can do an in-place upgrade from 5.2.9 to 6,5, no uninstall is necessary, but a reboot will be required to get the newer kernel mode IPS driver to load.  You can wait, but it will use the older IPS driver until the next reboot.

2)  6.x managers can manage any agent that is 5.2.x or newer.  However, 5.2.x agents can only use 5.2.x policies, and the 5.x policies cannot be upgraded to 6x policies automatically - they need to be re-created.

I don't have a best practice guide, but see the 6.5 doc "Planning and Deployment Guide" that ships with the product.

Thanks Chuck

The goal is to install DCS: SA and DCS: S. DCS: SA had no problems, I update right.

In the case of DCS: S I doubt if I should deploy for each ESXi one SVA, UMC and OD.

That is, if I have 10 ESXi  I should deploy 30 virtual appliances ..? (10 SVA 10 OD an 10 UMC)
