After removing your secondary appliances, begin the upgrade with the appliance that runs ZixGateway Manager. The update process takes about 15 minutes for each appliance, depending on the type of appliance being upgraded.
To apply the upgrade:
| 1. | Open the ZixGW_631_to_632_upgrade.zip file that you downloaded from https://support.zixcorp.com. |
| 2. |
|
| 3. |
|
| a. | Import your SSH keys |
| b. | Upload the vpmupd-6.3.1-6.3.2.tar.gz file to the /tmp directory in your ZixGateway version. |
| 4. |
|
| 5. | Run the sudo -i command. |
| 6. | On your ZixGateway system, enter the following command: |
mv /tmp/vpmupd-6.3.1-6.3.2.tar.gz ~
| 7. | Unpack the vpmupd-6.3.1-6.3.2.tar.gz file. The system displays the following confirmation: |
[root@mx1 ~]# tar xvzf vpmupd-6.3.1-6.3.2.tar.gz
runonce-upgrade
updates.tar.gz
updatevpm
post-install
| 8. | When the system prompt returns, run the update with ./updatevpm |
The update displays its progress to the screen. See the sample update below.
