Chapter 6: Upgrading Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Software and Its Components

Before updating Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite and its components, please note the following important features:

Before updating, it is recommended to check the validity of TCP/IP protocol configuration for the Internet access. Particularly, DNS service must be enabled and properly configured.

In multiserver anti-virus network configuration, consider that interserver updates transmission is not performed between Servers of 11 version and Servers of previous versions and interserver connection is used for transmission statistics only. To provide interserver updates transmission, you must upgrade all Servers. If you need to remain Servers of previous version as a part of the anti-virus network to connect the Agents installed on operating systems which are not supported by the 11 version (see Upgrading Dr.Web Agent), when Servers of versions 6 and Servers of the 11 version must receive updates independently.

For the anti-virus network containing Dr.Web Proxy server, at upgrade of the components up to the version 11.0.2, you must also upgrade the Proxy server up to the version 11.0.2. Otherwise, the Agents supplied within version 11.0.2 will not be able to connect to the Server of version 11.0.2. It is recommended to perform the upgrade in the following order: Dr.Web Server → Dr.Web Proxy server → Dr.Web Agent.

During upgrade of the Server from the 6 version to the 11 version, settings of the Sever operation via the proxy server are not saved. After the installation of the 11 version, you must specify the settings of connection via the proxy server manually (see Administration Manual, p. Proxy).

At upgrading the Server, all repository settings will not be transferred to the new version (will be reset to defaults), however they are backed up. If necessary, specify the repository settings manually after the Server upgrade.
