Important

If you are using a hotfix release, contact Trellix Support for the recommended upgrade path.

Important

When you perform a Sensor upgrade and reboot the Sensor, you need to verify the status of the Sensor through CLI and confirm if it displays SIGFILE or NO_SIGFILE. If the Sensor displays NO_SIGFILE, it is in an abnormal state. You can recover the Sensor immediately by manually deploying the sigfile to the Sensor using Manager.
