Complete the steps in the following sections for each appliance on which you are installing Secure Excelerator.
IMPORTANT: Volera provides URLs to the latest product patches with each license purchased. The URLs must be applied in the order listed in the Thank You page and in the confirmation e-mail.
You must always install all product patches before configuring and using an Excelerator product.
Complete the following steps.
In the browser-based tool, click System > click Upgrade > check Enable Download.
In the Install from URL field, type the Download URL received from Volera support.
Double-check the URL to ensure you typed it correctly.
Click the Download Time drop-down list > select the time you want the download to occur > check Enable Install.
Click the Install Time drop-down list > select the time you want the upgrade installed.
Click Apply.
The upgrade process always restarts the appliance, temporarily disconnecting the browser-based tool.
After the appliance restarts, reconnect to the appliance using the browser-based management tool and repeat this process for any other URLs received on the Thank You page and in the confirmation e-mail.
After all product patches have been applied, continue with Updating the Appliance 's Backup System Image .
You should update the appliance's clone image as soon as possible after an upgrade is completed.
Reconnect to the appliance using the browser-based management tool.
Click System > Actions > Update Clone > Update Clone.
This prevents the system from being overwritten by an earlier version.
You should always save a backup copy of each Excelerator license you purchase. You might choose to store the floppy diskettes used to install the licenses, or you might want to keep the files in a secure location on your network. The method you use is not important. It is important, however, that you have the license files for each appliance in case you need to restore them in the future.
If you prefer, you can periodically copy all the licenses installed on your appliance to a floppy disk and archive them in a safe location.
To copy the license files from an appliance, complete the following steps:
Insert a blank, formatted floppy disk in to the appliance's diskette drive.
At the system prompt, enter the following command:
exportlicense floppy
Remove the diskette and store it in a safe location.
