Prepare the Appliance for Upgrade Kit Installation

Before performing any hardware upgrades, archive the configuration and keyring that are running on the old appliance and
record your network configuration settings. This should be done periodically as part of general system maintenance
procedures.
IMPORTANT:
Keys are exported in clear text with no encryption or obfuscation. Take precautions to secure the archive file
n
appropriately.
The archive does not include keyrings saved with the Do not show keypair option. For keyrings that are not
n
included in the archive, you must manually create a new keyring and import the key and the certificate into the new
ProxySG appliance before you are instructed to restore this archive.
Create a back up of your SGOS configuration using SSH-Console session. The archive generated in this procedure
includes the showable keyrings on the appliance.
1. In your terminal emulation application, enable session logging. Configure the application to log the session output
and save that file on your local system. The following example uses PuTTY:
2. Access the CLI on the appliance and enter the following commands from the CLI command prompt:
SGOS> enable
SGOS# config terminal
SGOS(config) show configuration noprompts with-keyrings
SGOS(config) exit
3. Exit the terminal emulation application, making sure that session logging is turned off.
4. Open the session log/output file and delete all the text/commands before and after the configuration.
5. Save this text file on your local system or hard drive.
6. Record your network settings (Management interface IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary DNS
server, alternate DNS server).
