2. Cisco Security Agent Management Center (CSA MC) Update Instructions


Upgrading:


Applying v6.0.0.205 to an existing supported 6.0 installation:

       To apply the hotfix to an existing 6.0 CSA MC installation, net stop
       the csagent and csamc60 services via a CMD shell (or stop
       the Cisco Security Agent and Management Console for Cisco Security Agents v6.0 via 
       the services applet).  Then run the setup.exe file on the CSA MC system.
       When you run the setup file, follow the instructions that appear on screen.

          NOTE: The CSA MC upgrade process creates a backup of
          your previous database files. The upgrade calculates the size
          of your existing database and then checks to see if there is
          enough disk space to create the backup. If there is not enough
          space, you are prompted to abort the upgrade or to continue without
          creating a backup.
      
       After upgrading the CSA MC with the hotfix, a software update should be
       created and deployed to upgrade hosts running the previous version of 
       software.
