IMPORTANT: Upgrade Warnings

Please read all these warnings before upgrading to Release 6.2.1.

Warning: You must wait at least 1 day after a software upgrade before performing a backup, otherwise the backed up log data will be inconsistent with the platform software.
  • It is strongly recommended that you back up your data prior to performing an upgrade.
  • Before starting the upgrade to version 6.2.1, you must change the default value (public) of the SNMP community string to any other string.
  • After upgrading to LogLogic LMI version 6.2.0 or later, it is recommended to regenerate the SSL Certificate of LogLogic LMI, in order to take advantage of the latest cipher updates. As per industry best practices, insecure ciphers have been removed from the cipher list. If your Blue Coat device collects logs over HTTPS, you might face log collection issues due to cipher mismatch.
  • If you are upgrading to TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence version 6.2.1 by using TIBCO LogLogic® Management Center version 2.1.1, you must apply the following hotfix before starting the LogLogic® LMI upgrade process:
    • MC 2.1.1-HF-LLCE-2322-2469
    For more information about the hotfix, see the corresponding hotfix ReadMe file.
  • To properly forward Check Point data, you must update both your inbound and outbound devices to the same release.
  • If the existing installation is using an earlier version of TIBCO LogLogic® Log Source Packages, it is required to first upgrade to one of the supported LogLogic® LSP versions of the release to which you want to upgrade to. For the upgrade matrix, refer to the LogLogic LMI - LogLogic LSP matrix in the TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence Release Notes.
  • The Post Upgrade Script must be run on LX, MX, ST, and LogLogic EVA appliances after upgrading.
  • Starting from release 5.3.1, when scheduling a replay, if you select Authentication and Encryption options, type the CLI command system keycopy on the ST appliance and follow the instructions displayed on the screen to add the public key to the LX appliance.
  • Starting from release 5.4, the Show Triggered Alerts page might not display the original alert message even after you disable the Data Privacy mode by clicking the lock icon for the current user session. However, if you turn off the Data Privacy option using the Administration > System Settings > General tab, the original alert message is displayed on the Show Triggered Alerts page.
  • Before upgrading to LogLogic LMI 6.1.0 or later:
    • The CPU and memory of TIBCO LogLogic® Enterprise Virtual Appliance must be changed to match the minimum hardware requirements of LogLogic LMI. For more information, see the TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence Enterprise Virtual Appliance Quick Start Guide.
    • To prevent running a file system check during upgrade, run the CLI command system fsck disable. After the upgrade process is complete, run the CLI command system fsck enable to re-enable the check if needed. For more information about the fsck command, see TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence Administration Guide.
  • If you are upgrading from version 6.2.0 to 6.2.1, you must install LogLogic LMI 6.2.0 HF2.
