Upgrading the ArcSight Suite

While the upgrade process is running, if you cannot complete it for any reason, make sure to cancel it before you navigate away from it.

When the OMT infrastructure upgrade is complete, you can upgrade your deployed capabilities, such as Transformation Hub, Recon, Intelligence, or other ArcSight Platform products that run on the OMT. This process will also deploy Fusion, which is required for ArcSight Platform 3.2.0 and later. If you have already deployed Fusion, then this process upgrades it.

Verify you have performed all the required tasks and obtained all installation packages as discussed in Prerequisites for Upgrading on Azure.

Accepting the Browser Security Certificate

Before starting the upgrade process, you must accept the browser security certificate, which will authorize your browser to access the OMT management portal and perform the upgrade.

  1. Log in to the OMT Management Portal.
  2. Click DEPLOYMENT > Deployments.
  3. Click ... (browse), then select Reconfigure.
  4. Accept the browser certificate.

To upgrade your deployed capabilities:

  1. Upload your metadata and product images to the ACR.
  2. From the jump host, browse to the OMT management portal at https://<virtual_FQDN>:5443.
    1. Click DEPLOYMENT > Metadata and click + Add.
    2. Browse to and select the metadata file arcsight-suite-metadata-x.x.x.x.tar. This process adds the new metadata to the system.
  3. Start the upgrade process.
    1. Click DEPLOYMENT > Deployments. In the Update column, find the numeral 1 inside the red circle.
    2. Minor version changes do not display like regular updates (for example: 22.1.0.15 -> 22.1.0.16.)
    3. Click the red circle, then select your recently-added metadata to initiate the upgrade.
  4. From the Update to page, click NEXT until you reach the Import suite images page.
  5. When prompted to download or transfer images, you can click NEXT to skip the steps, since you performed these steps earlier.
  6. Ensure that the validation results of container images show a complete number of files.
  7. On the Import suite images page, the process will already display your image files, as you performed these steps earlier.
  8. Click NEXT until you reach the Upgrade Complete page.
