Running the Upgrade

This chapter describes the steps required to upgrade your system from software ESM or ESM on an appliance to ESM 7.5.

Before you start the upgrade, complete the tasks in Completing Pre-Upgrade Tasks.

For information about upgrading software ESM, see Upgrading Software ESM.

For information about upgrading on an appliance, see Upgrading ESM on an Appliance .

For information about upgrading a hierarchical or other multi-ESM deployment, see Upgrading a Hierarchical or Other Multi-ESM Installation.

Note: Ensure you run the installer from a directory that is both owned by the arcsight user and outside the current ESM home directory (typically /opt/arcsight/). For example, you can use either the /home/arcsight/ or /opt/installer/ directories.
