9.4. Updating the Repository of a Server not Connected to the Internet

If the anti-virus Server is not connected to the Internet, its repository can be updated manually. Copy the repository of another ESS Server, which has been updated normally.

 

This way is not meant for upgrading.

 

For Server 5.0 and later versions, updates for the Server itself from the GUS servers are not supplied.

To upgrade the Server, use the installer of corresponding version and make the upgrade procedure according to general rules, described in Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for Windows® OS or Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for UNIX® System-Based Systems.

 

To update the anti-virus software, do the following:

1.Install the anti-virus Server software on another computer connected to the Internet as described in p. Installing the Anti-Virus Server.

2.Stop the two Servers.

3.Start the Server connected to the Internet with the syncrepository switch to update the anti-virus software.

Example for Windows OS:

"C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server\bin\drwcsd.exe" -home="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server" syncrepository

4.Fully replace the content of repository catalog on the main (working) Server by the content of correspondent catalog of the Server connected to the Internet. Usually it is:

var\repository under Windows OS,

/var/drwcs/repository under FreeBSD OS and Solaris OS,

/var/opt/drwcs/repository under Linux OS.

 

If the Agent with an active self-protection is installed on Sever computer, you must disable Dr.Web SelfPROtect component in the Agent settings before starting the repository update.

 

5.If the main Server is runing under UNIX OS, it is necessary to set the rights of the user created/selected at the installation of the Server to the copied repository.

6.On the main Server execute the command

drwcsd rerepository

Under Windows OS the command can be performed both from the command line:

"C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server\bin\drwcsd.exe" -home="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server" rerepository

or from the Start menu:

Start All Programs DrWeb Enterprise Server Server control Reload repository

7.Start the main Server.

 

If Dr.Web SelfPROtect component was disabled before the repository update, it is recommended to enable this component after updating.
