Upgrading Trisul

An upgrade is an uninstall followed by a new install.

Upgrading keeps your installation, application settings and traffic data.

To move from Trisul 7.0 to Trisul 8.0, remove the Trisul 7.0 packages and the old repository, then install Trisul 8.0. Trisul 8.0 signs the repository with a 3072-bit public key. Trisul 7.0 used a 2048-bit key. The Trisul 8.0 install steps replace that key.

warning

You cannot install a version 8.1 license on a version 7 build.

Back up the v7 license​

Before you upgrade, back up the old v7 license on both the Hub and the Probe:

cp /usr/local/etc/trisul-hub/LicenseKey.txt /usr/local/etc/trisul-hub/LicenseKey.txt.v7
cp /usr/local/etc/trisul-probe/LicenseKey.txt /usr/local/etc/trisul-probe/LicenseKey.txt.v7

Copy the v8 license​

Copy the new v8 license key:

cp /home/trisul/LicenseKey.txt.prod.v8 /usr/local/etc/trisul-hub/LicenseKey.txt
cp /home/trisul/LicenseKey.txt.prod.v8 /usr/local/etc/trisul-probe/LicenseKey.txt

Remove Trisul 7.0 and install Trisul 8.0​

If you installed Trisul from the repository:

  1. Remove the Trisul 7.0 packages.
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove trisul-full
  1. Remove the Trisul 7.0 apt source list.
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trisul.list
  1. Install the Trisul 8.0 packages. Follow Installing.

If you downloaded the packages and installed them manually, remove the old packages and install the 8.0 DEB files. The DEB packages are on the download page. Open the Getting Started page; it leads you to the download page.

sudo dpkg -r trisul-hub trisul-probe trisul-badfellas trisul-geo webtrisul
sudo dpkg -i trisul-hub_8.0*.deb trisul-probe_8.0*.deb webtrisul_8.0*.deb trisul-badfellas_8.0*.deb trisul-geo_8.0*.deb
