Upgrade paths for Linux-based Manager from 11.1 Update 9 version to 11.1 Update 10 version

Physical appliances:

To install the 11.1 Update 10 (Trellix OS) on your Manager appliance, you must migrate from 11.1 Update 9 (MLOS). For more information, see Migrating from 11.1 Update 9 MLOS Manager Appliance to 11.1 Update 10 Trellix OS Manager Appliance.

VM instances:

For VM instances, you cannot perform a direct upgrade or migrate from 11.1 Update 9 to 11.1 Update 10. To install the 11.1 Update 10 version of the Trellix OS Manager on a VM, you must perform a fresh deployment and restore the All Table Backup. For more information, see Prepare for 11.1 Update 10 Trellix OS Manager fresh virtual machine instance deployment.

Caution

After upgrade, the Linux-based Manager reboot automatically. If it fails to reboot, check the installation logs for errors and reboot the Manager manually.

Note

Trellix recommends to keep SSH keepalive configuration enabled in your SSH client (for example, Bitvise) to avoid session termination in the Linux-based Manager and maintain a stable connection during the Manager upgrade process.
