Upgrade Instructions: Web Security Gateway
32 Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere
tar -xvzf <installer gzip tar archive>
c. In /tmp/wcg_v78 unpack lx86inst.tar:
tar -xvf lx86inst.tar
This tar command does not use the ‘z’ flag because the tar file is not a gzip.
d. Change directory to scripts:
cd ./scripts/
e. Using wcg_config_utility.sh create a backup of Content Gateway v7.7.x and
save it to a trusted location on the network:
./wcg_config_utililty.sh create WCGbackup
This creates WCGbackup.tar.gz in the current directory.
3. Copy WCGbackup.tar.gz to a reliable location on the network where it can
easily be retrieved after the operating system upgrade.
4. If you are upgrading Red Hat Enterprise Linux on this machine, uninstall Content
Gateway. See Uninstalling Content Gateway
and continue with Step 6.
5. If you want to keep the current machine as a fallback option, power down the
computer and disconnect it from the network.
6. Applying the same hostname, ethernet interface, and IP address used with Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Updates 6.4 and 6.5
are certified with v7.8.x. Updates 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 are supported.
Note
You can only revert to the original machine if the other
Web Security components are also reverted to the
matching (original) 7.7.x version. When that is the case,
you can simply reconnect the Content Gateway host
machine to the network and power up. Content Gateway
v7.7.x will re-register with Web Security.
If you want to repurpose the machine, do not reconnect it
to the network until after you have uninstalled Content
Gateway and assigned the machine a new IP address and
hostname.
Note
Content Gateway is designed to run on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, Basic Server package. This is the default
installation configuration and must be confirmed.
