To update download the upgrade bundle (.tar.gz) from Vmware site & upload to vShield Manager

(https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VSHIELD_APP501&productId=235&rPId=2382)

For instructions/steps check the vShield

- Admin Guide page 25 [https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vshield_501_admin.pdf]

- QuickStart Guide page 33 [https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vshield_501_quickstart.pdf]

Please could anyone tell me how can I download this upgrade bundle? This site allows me to download only fresh new OVA

[sorabhk5]

On the link mentioned above --  After login you should see 2 options -- .ova & .tar.gz.

Download the tar.gz.  [See attached]

sorabhk5, thank you very much for explanation,

I did manage to download this bundle (used another download sequence on VMware website.

I also tried to backup MySQL database from my old vShield, to deploy new OVA and restore the database. And this was unsuccessfull - database from 5.0 seems incompatible with 5.0.1.

Will try to upgrade existing vShield with upgrade bundle.

[sorabhk5]

Yes, that's correct. So far, database restore is not supported across versions.

You need to upgrade your vShield Manager

Uploaded the newer GZ file severall times. Waited for minutes starting at blank screen. But I never see the new build in the updates list 😞

Hi,

I have the exact same problem, any updates on this?

[sorabhk5]

Blank screen issues are usually due to java cache/browser.

Can you try again after clearing the temporary files & JAVA cache. (or) Try from a different machine or browser.

Check for logs in VSM for any errors.

VSM CLI # show log follow

Database is automatically updated to new version.

Backup is required incase the upgrade fails or you need to roll-back to the older version.

[PAckermann]

Solved for me. I've read up on a different thread, that the naming of the downloaded upgrade-bundle was false. It was just .gz, renamed it to .tar.gz and upgrading worked flawlessly.

Same thing for me, renaming the file to .tar.gz worked <poke> <poke> might want to fix that vmware
