Using the Install Wizard

Step 1

If installing previously downloaded upgrade packages:

1. Select the desired WSAs in the Web Appliances with Downloaded AsyncOS Versions section of the Centralized Upgrade page (Web > Utilities > Centralized Upgrade).

2. Click Install Wizard.

Step 2

On the Upgrade Preparation page of the wizard, for each selected WSA:

• Check Save the current configuration to the configuration directory before upgrading if you want a back-up copy of the WSA’s current configuration saved to that system’s configuration directory.
• If the Save current configuration option is checked, you can check Mask passphrases in the configuration file to have all current-configuration passphrases masked in the back-up copy. Note that the Load Configuration command cannot be used to reload back-up files with masked passphrases.
• If the Save current configuration option is checked, you can enter one or more email addresses into the Email file to field; a copy of the back-up configuration file is mailed to each address. Separate multiple addresses with commas.

Step 3

Click Next.

Step 4

The Upgrade Summary page lists upgrade-preparation information for each selected WSA; click Next to continue the wizard.

Step 5

Following a series of device checks such as connection status, the Review page provides a listing of installation status for each WSA. You can deselect devices that are showing an error. Click Begin Install to begin installing an upgrade package to each selected WSA.
