Upgrading From an Earlier Version of SonicWALL GMS
You can use the SonicWALL UMS installer to upgrade from the GMS 6.0 to the 7.0
release. To complete registration, the system must have access to the Internet and you
must have a MySonicWALL account.
When upgrading a distributed deployment, upgrade and register the primary system first.
This is usually the SonicWALL GMS Console system from the original deployment. All
subsequent instances of SonicWALL GMS will use the primary system’s 12 character
serial number when registering as components of the deployment. Each server in the
distributed deployment must be upgraded and registered individually.
If the GMS Console (Web server) is set up for HTTPS management, the upgrade to
GMS will preserve the HTTPS settings for the GMS Web server.
The upgrade installer checks with the SonicWALL backend to see if the SonicWALL
GMS deployment has a valid support license. If it does not, then the upgrade
discontinues. If the SonicWALL GMS installer detects that the SonicWALL backend site
is not accessible, it prompts the user to enter an Upgrade Key. If the key is valid, it allows
the upgrade to continue. If the key is invalid, the installation fails.
