Upgrade

You can upgrade your Secure Private Access deployments to a newer version without having to first set up new machines or sites. Before you upgrade, we recommend that you create the snapshots or save the configurations. To start an upgrade, you run the installer from the new version to upgrade the previously installed Secure Private Access plug-in.

Upgrade sequence

The upgrade sequence is as follows:

  1. You can upgrade Secure Private Access through the Delivery Controller or through the dedicated Secure Private Access tile in the installer UI based on how you originally installed Secure Private Access.

    • If you have installed Secure Private Access via Delivery Controller, then you cannot upgrade the Secure Private Access component alone. Instead, you must upgrade all the components. For details, see Upgrade a deployment.
    • If you have installed Secure Private Access through the dedicated Secure Private Access tile, then you can upgrade it independently. For details, see Upgrade your Secure Private Access installer.

    Note:

    We recommend that you install Secure Private Access through the Delivery Controller for POC environments, However, for production environments, we recommend that you use the dedicated installer so that you can adapt new features or functionality.

  2. Run the database scripts. For details, see Upgrade the database using scripts.
  3. Run the StoreFront configuration again. Download the StoreFront scripts from Settings > Configuration, and run the scripts on the corresponding StoreFront machines. For details, see Modify integration settings.

    Note:

    If you do not run the scripts, the endpoints are not triggered.

  4. (Optional) Run the NetScaler Gateway script. For details, see NetScaler Gateway.
