Cisco Cisco Security Manager 4.6 Notas de publicación

Please refer to the 

 for specific installation instructions 

and for important information about client and server requirements. Before installing Cisco Security 
Manager 4.6, it is critical that you read the notes listed in this section and the 

.

The “Licensing” chapter in the installation guide enables you to determine which license you need. 
(The license you need depends upon whether you are performing a new installation or upgrading 
from one of several previous versions.) It also describes the various licenses available, such as 
standard, professional, and evaluation. It is available at 

.

The STD-TO-PRO upgrade converts an ST25 license to a PRO50 license and will result in support 
for 50 devices. If additional devices need to be supported, you need to buy the necessary incremental 
licenses.

Do not modify casuser (the default service account) or directory permissions that are established 
during the installation of the product. Doing so can lead to problems with your being able to do the 
following:

Logging in to the web server

Logging in to the client

Performing successful backups of all databases

The 

 provides important information regarding 

server requirements, server configuration, and post-installation tasks. 

The 

 also provides important information 

regarding operating system and browser support. For example, Windows XP is no longer supported 
for clients. As another example, VMware ESXi versions up to ESXi 5.5 are now supported.

You can install Security Manager server software directly, or you can upgrade the software on a 
server where Security Manager is installed. The 

 for 

this release of the product explains which previous Security Manager releases are supported for 
upgrade and provides important information regarding server requirements, server configuration, 
and post-installation tasks.

Before you can successfully upgrade to Security Manager 4.6 from a prior version of Security 
Manager, you must make sure that the Security Manager database does not contain any pending data, 
in other words, data that has not been committed to the database. If the Security Manager database 
contains pending data, you must commit or discard all uncommitted changes, then back up your 
database before you perform the upgrade. The 

 for 

this release of the product contains complete instructions on the steps required for preparing the 
database for upgrade.

We do not support installation of Security Manager on a server that is running any other web server 
or database server (for example, IIS or MS-SQL). Doing so might cause unexpected problems that 
may prevent you from logging into or using Cisco Security Manager.

Be aware of the following important points before you upgrade:

Ensure that all applications that you are upgrading are currently functioning correctly, and that 
you can create valid backups (that is, the backup process completes without error). If an 
application is not functioning correctly before an upgrade, the upgrade process might not result 
in a correctly functioning application.
