Upgrading the server
- Copy the IBM Endpoint Manager server installable image to the BigFix server computer and extract it to a folder.
- On the BigFix server
computer run the BigFix server
upgrade script:
where:./install.sh -upgrade [-opt BES_LICENSE_PVK=<path+license.pvk>] [-opt BES_LICENSE_PVK_PWD=<password>]
-opt BES_LICENSE_PVK=<path+license.pvk>
- Specifies the private key file (
filename.pvk
). This private key file and its password are required to update the product license and perform the required SHA-256 signature updates in the BigFix database.Note: The notation<path+license.pvk>
used in the command syntax stands forpath_to_license_file/license.pvk
. -opt BES_LICENSE_PVK_PWD=<password>
- Specifies the password associated to the private key file (
filename.pvk
).
The
install.sh
server script upgrades all the components it detects on the local server. - Run the Administration Tool (
./BESAdmin.sh
on Linux) to distribute the updated license:/opt/BESServer/bin/BESAdmin.sh -syncmastheadandlicense -sitePvkLocation=<path+license.pvk> -sitePvkPassword=<password>
