Upgrading the Appliance
Upgrading the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance typically involves the following
three steps:
1. Obtain the upgrade package from Cisco Systems and load it onto a
distribution server in your network. This can be done either by employing an
upgrade CD or downloading the upgrade package from Cisco.com.
2. Load the upgrade image onto the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance from the
distribution server on your network. You can do this either from within the
HTML interface, or from the serial console. The Cisco Secure ACS
Appliance verifies the files transferred to ensure that they have not been
corrupted. For more information on performing this step from the HTML
interface, see the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS Appliance. To load the
upgrade image using the command line interface, use the following
procedure: Upgrading the Appliance, page 4-32.
3. Finally, apply the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance system upgrade. You can do
this either from within the HTML interface, or from the serial console. For
more information, see Applying an Appliance System Upgrade, page 4-35.
This process is shown in Figure 4-1.
