Re: [FW-1] SecurePlatform - Upgrade to NG FP3



That's what I thought would have to be done. But I wanted to make sure that
a manual install of the linux rpms would work...

And as Damien commented on the same issue, the manuals/docs does leave a bit
to be desired.

Thanks everyone.

All the CPspupgrade_FP3.tgz does is upgrade the SecurePlatfrom to FP3 (the
Linux OS only), none of the modules are upgraded during this process.  You
have to run the install for each of the modules that you have installed,
i.e., SVN Foundation (must be 1st), VPN1/FW1, Performance Pack, Policy
Server, etc etc.

Go to the approaite directory on the CD under the linux dir then run rpm -i
<filename>.rpm

The order I used was:

CPshared-50:    SVN Foundation    (Do this first!)
CPFirewall1-50:    VPN-1/FW-1
CPPerPack-50:    Performance Pack
CPPolicySrv-50:    Policy Server

Also, when running the rpm command do not use -u for 'upgrade'.  It must
actually be installed using the '-i'

It will just sit there for awhile like it is not doing anything, but be
patient, it will come back with a status of the upgrade.

Hope this helps,

This is what we did. However, no menu is presented with options. The "patch
add cd" only added a lot of linux related fixes, but not FW1. Trying to run
the same command again returns a message saying there is nothing to
update...

 It is explained in SecurePlatform User Guide , page 88

What is the correct way of upgrading to NG FP3 on a secureplatform
installation? After upgrading the SecurePlatfrom installation to NG 3, a fw
ver still shows that FW-1 is still NG 2.
