Prechecks

Before the update it is required that the state of the system is known. Not functioning readers, nodes and lines must be noted.
Check and test database couplings and other custom intergrations, it's best to test them on a 10.2 system first to see if they work or still need adjustments first.

Compatibility and discontinued hardware/software is noted in the release notes:

Getting the necessary files

Download the Backup from the maintenance page. Unpack the backup and unpack the file in the backup. You will find 2 files in there. Mail the backup.key.asc to the TKH security supportdesk. They will generate a restore.taz for this backup.

Setting up Ubuntu server for iProtect

Use the manual that TKH security will provide to set up the new Ubuntu server and to setup the iProtect-Setup.

If you use the same hardware server, it is recommended to use a new harddrive if the drive is more then 5 years old. Also make sure the memory is sufficient of iProtect (https://tkhsecurity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/9268232203/iProtect+-+Release+notes+10.2#2.2-Hardware-specification) )

  • Install > Upload iProtect (1)

  • Click on the “...” button and select the new iProtect™ version at the maintenance page and click on the “Post” button.

When the “Check requirements” button appears, press it and a check will be done. Check the log and see what is needed to continue.

  • if the check is passed you get a “Start Upgrade” button and can start the upload by a click on this button.

You can follow the installation at the User interface logging, if you see the messages below the Gui is ready and you can login in iProtect™ again (only the root user can login at this point)

Installing iProtect 10.1 over 10.2

The new server has a valid empty 10.2 database, now upload the restore.taz and after that upload the backup.

iProtect will now be updated to the 10.2 version. This can take up to 30 minutes until you can log into iProtect.
