Upgrade all your relays before you start to upgrade agents (see Best practices for upgrades for details.) There are two ways to upgrade a relay, as described below.

Upgrade a relay starting from the manager

  1. Log in to Deep Security Manager.
  2. Identify your Deep Security Relays. Either:
    • Go to Computers . In the main pane, look for computers with the relay icon (Deep Security Relay icon).
    • Go to Administration. On the left, click Updates > Relay Management. In the main pane, expand a Relay Group. Your relays are displayed with the relay icon (relay_server=726ba173-6405-4bc3-bb69-e1352178c9b8.svg).
  3. Double-click the relay that you want to upgrade.
  4. Click the Actions tab.
  5. Click Upgrade Agent.
    Follow the steps in the wizard that appears. Steps are similar to upgrading a Deep Security Agent, since a relay is just an agent with relay functionality enabled. For details, see Upgrade Deep Security Agent.

Upgrade a relay by running the installer manually

Sometimes you may not be able to upgrade the relay software from the Deep Security Manager. In these cases, you can upgrade a relay manually. For detailed instructions, see Upgrade the agent manually. The referred-to instructions are for agents, but will work equally for relays.
