User manual SONICWALL AVENTAIL E-CLASS SRA EX-SERIES V10.0.2 UPGRADE GUIDE

[. . . ] The licensing scheme for the E-Class SRA EX-Series changed in v9. 0x. If you are upgrading from v8. 8 or v8. 9 to a later version, you must obtain a new license. Upgrading from 9. 0. x directly to 10. 0. 2 may fail with a mysql error. If this occurs, upgrade first to 10. 0. 0 and then to 10. 0. 2. [. . . ] Microsoft, for example, offers an unsupported command-line utility on their site named File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV). Follow these steps to compare checksums using this utility: 1. At the DOS command prompt, type the following, which returns a checksum for the downloaded file: fciv <upgrade_filename>. bin 2. Compare the result against the MD5 checksum displayed on MySonicWALL. If they match, you can safely continue with your update. If they differ, try the download again and compare the resulting checksums. If they still don't match, contact Technical Support. To verify the MD5 checksum directly on your SonicWALL Aventail appliance, type the following command, which returns a checksum for the downloaded file: md5sum <upgrade_filename>. bin Installing the Update This section outlines the process of updating your system. Note: Starting in v10. 0, you can no longer configure CA eTrust SiteMinder as an authentication server on the SonicWALL Aventail appliance. If your current configuration includes a SiteMinder server, remove it from your configuration before you back it up in preparation for installing the v10. 0. 2 update file, otherwise you will see an "Update failed" error message. Backing Up Your Current Configuration Before updating, it's a good idea to back up the current configuration data from your appliance using the export feature in AMC. This step is optional, but recommended: 1. From the main AMC navigation menu, click Maintenance. In the System configuration area, click Import/Export. A File Download dialog box prompts you to open the . aea file or save it to your hard drive. Note: On Windows operating systems, Internet Explorer may block the download of the . aea file. To work around this, click the information bar that appears beneath the Internet Explorer Address box, and then click Download File. Click Save, browse to the correct directory on your hard drive, and then save the . aea file. Click OK on the Export Configuration page to return to the Import/Export page.
