Upgrading CTE agents in an LDT Communication Group from 7.4.0 to 7.5.0 and post 7.5.0

When upgrading the CTE agent version on all nodes of an LDT Communication Group, you must stop CTE on all of the nodes to be upgraded before upgrading them.

1. Unguard the GuardPoints on the nodes to be upgraded:

   1. Go to the CipherTrust Manager UI.

   2. In the GuardPoint window, click the ellipsis on the right side of a GuardPoint and select disable to disable the GuardPoint.

   3. Repeat the steps for all of the GuardPoints on the nodes to be upgraded.

2. Stop the CTE service on all of the nodes to ensure that all of the GuardPoints are unguarded.

   For Windows:

   1. Go to Control Panel > Services (local).

   2. Select secfsd.

   3. Select Stop the Service.

   For Linux, type:

   /etc/vormetric/secfs stop

   Copy

3. Upgrade CTE on all of the nodes.

4. If your setup contains manual directory type GuardPoints, then you must run secfsd -guard <gp> to guard the GuardPoints again after the upgrade.

5. Verify that the GuardPoints are guarded on all of the nodes. Type:

   # secfsd -status guard
