Upgrade Safeguard for Sudo
Safeguard for Sudo supports a direct upgrade installation from version 2.0. The Safeguard for Sudo software in this release is provided using platform-specific installation packages.
If you are currently running Privilege Manager for Unix 2.0, it may be possible to perform a direct upgrade installation depending on the package management software on your platform (Note: Direct upgrade installations are not possible with Solaris.pkg packages). If you perform a direct upgrade installation, your previous configuration details are retained. Where a direct upgrade is not possible, you must first remove the previously installed package, and install and configure Safeguard for Sudo as a new product installation.
Because the Safeguard for Sudo 7.3 original platform installer packages do not provide an automated rollback script, One Identity highly recommends that you back up important data such as your license, pm.settings file, policy, and log files before you attempt to upgrade your existing Safeguard for Sudo policy servers.
To install Safeguard for Sudo 7.3, change to the directory where the install package is located for your platform and run the package installer. For details about how to install the Safeguard for Sudo software, see Installing the Safeguard for Sudo packages.
