Upgrading JSA to 7.5.0

SUMMARY You must upgrade all of the JSA products in your deployment to the same version.

Determine the minimum JSA release that is required for the release of JSA to which you want to update. For more information about the minimum JSA release required to update JSA, see JSA 7.4.2 Fix Pack 3 (Patch 3) release.

Click Help > About to check your current release of JSA.

To ensure that JSA upgrades without errors, ensure that you use only the supported versions of JSA software:

Note:

Software versions for all JSA appliances in a deployment must be the same version and fix level. Deployments that use different JSA versions of software are not supported.

Note:

Custom DSMs are not removed during the upgrade.

Upgrade your JSA Console first, and then upgrade each managed host. In high availablity (HA) deployments, when you upgrade the HA primary host, the HA secondary host is automatically upgraded.

The following JSA systems can be upgraded concurrently:

Event processors
Event collectors
Flow processors
Data nodes
App hosts

Download the <filename>.sfs file from https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/.
For example, 7.5.0.20220215133427.sfs.
Use SSH to log in to your system as the root user.
Copy the SFS file to the /storetmp or /var/log directory or to another location that has sufficient disk space.

Note:
If the SFS file is in the /storetmp directory and you do not upgrade, when the overnight diskmaintd.pl utility runs, the SFS file is deleted.

To verify you have enough space (5 GB) in the JSA Console, type the following command:

df -h /storetmp /var/log | tee diskchecks.txt

Note:
Do not copy the file to an existing JSA system directory such as the /store directory.
To create the /media/updates directory, type the following command:

mkdir -p /media/updates
Use the command cd command to change to the directory where you copied the SFS file.
Unzip the patch file using the bunzip utility:

bunzip2 <filename>.bz2
To mount the SFS file to the /media/updates directory, type the following command:

mount -o loop <filename>.sfs /media/updates/
To run the patch installer, type the following command:

/media/updates/installer

What to do next:

Unmount /media/updates by typing the following command:

umount /media/updates
Delete the SFS file.
Perform an automatic update to ensure that your configuration files contain the latest network security information. For more information, see Checking for New Updates.
Delete the patch file to free up space on the partition.
Clear your web browser cache. After you upgrade JSA, the Vulnerabilities tab might not be displayed. To use JSA Vulnerability Manager after you upgrade, you must upload and allocate a valid license key. For more information, see the Juniper Secure Analytics Administration Guide for your product.
Determine whether there are changes that must be deployed. For more information see “Deploying Changes” in Juniper Secure Analytics Administration Guide.
