IMSS 7.1 SP2 Patch 1 or above is required during the upgrade or migration.

Procedure

  1. Make sure that all IMSS services are working properly on the management console.
    On the Summary screen, all the services under Managed Server Settings are active.
  2. Start the IMSS upgrade wizard in the installation package path (/imss/upgrade.sh).
    Note
    Note
    Locate and decompress the installation package in the working directory that general users can access (for example, /var/tmp). Run the upgrade wizard as the root user.
    Otherwise, the upgrade may fail due to the following error in the installation log:
    Fail to migrate the adminDB. tool exited with code 16.
  3. Press F12 to continue upgrade.
  4. Press F12 to agree with the license agreement.
  5. Verify the installed components and database and press F12 to continue.
  6. Verify that your environment meets all minimum system requirements and press F12 to continue.
  7. Verify the admin database configurations and press F12 to continue.
    • If you are using an internal database, the wizard will migrate your data to the PostgreSQL 9.6 internal database.
    • If you are using an external database, dump your data and transfer data to the PostgreSQL 9.6 database server. Complete the remote database configurations.
      For details, see Upgrading the External Admin Database.
  8. Wait until the progress bar shows 100%.
    If a message saying "Upgrade Complete" appears, the upgrade is successful.

    To use Sender Filtering together with the Sendmail MTA, additional configurations must be done to ensure that Sendmail uses FoxLib and therefore gets the real IP address of the SMTP client contacting FoxProxy. For details, see Using Sender Filtering with Sendmail.
