Features Introduced in Previous Versions

AMP8150, which is shipped with additional storage). Malware storage packs are 

also supported on stacked or clustered 8000 Series devices (except for the 

AMP8150).
Compatible managed devices detect if a malware storage pack is added and 

automatically transfer existing file captures to the added drive, freeing space on 

the main drive.

Do not attempt to install third-party hard drives. Installing an 

unsupported hard drive may damage the device.

Sourcefire Software for X-Series

: X-Series

Version 5.3 of the Sourcefire 3D System is now supported on X-Series appliances 

running X-Series Operating System (XOS) Version 9.7.2 (and later) and Version 

10.0 (and later). If you are using an earlier version of XOS, contact Blue Coat 

Systems Support. For more information about X-Series, see the Sourcefire 

Software for X-Series Installation and Configuration Guide.

Virtual Appliance Initial Setup Improvements

: Any

: Virtual, X-Series

: Virtual

As of Version 5.3, you can perform the initial setup on virtual devices without 

leaving the vCloud workflow by using the vSphere Hypervisor or the vCloud 

Director. You no longer need to connect to the virtual device console to change 

the default password, configure networking, set the initial detection mode, and 

configure the managing Defense Center during initial setup. Those configuration 

steps can now all be performed during the vCloud deployment workflow. Note 

that you can still deploy using ESXi, but that it requires additional setup on the 

VMware console.

Changed Functionality

You can now use a shell-based query management tool to locate and stop 

long-running queries. The query management tool allows you to locate 

queries running longer than a specified number of minutes and stop those 

queries. The tool logs an event to the audit log and to syslog when you stop 

a query.
Note that only administrative users with shell access rights on the Defense 

Center can access this tool. For more information, type 

query_manager -h

 

on the Defense Center shell or see Stopping Long-Running Queries in the 

Sourcefire 3D System User Guide.
