Introduction 2.8 Upgrade - Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance Kerio Control can be upgraded by the following two methods: • by starting the system from the installation CD (or a mounted ISO) of the new version. The installation process is identical with the process of a new installation with an the only exception that at the start the installer asks you whether to execute an upgrade (any existing data will be kept) or a new installation (all configuration files, statistics, logs, etc will be removed). For details, see chapter 2.7. • by the Kerio Administration Console update checker. For details, refer to chapter 17.3 Warning: Since 6.7.1, some configuration parameters have been changed for version 7.0.0. Although updates are still performed automatically and seamlessly, it is necessary to mind the changes described above that take effect immediately upon installation of the new version. The following parameters are affected: • Log file names — fixed log file names are set now (alert.log, config.log, debug.log, etc.). The path for saving the log files is kept unchanged — logs are saved under /opt/kerio/winroute/logs If log file names has been changed, the original files are kept and new logs are recorded in files with corresponding names. • Log type (Facility) and its Severity for external logging on the Syslog server — fixed facility and severity values of individual logs of Kerio Control are now set. This is a fact to bear in mind while viewing firewall logs on the Syslog server. For details on log settings, see chapter 22.1. After update, it is recommended to check Warning log carefully (see chapter 22.13). 2.9 Kerio Control components Kerio Control consists of these components: Kerio Control Engine The core of the program that executes all services and functions. It is running as a service in the operating system (the service is called Kerio Control and it is run automatically within the system account by default). Kerio Control Engine Monitor (Windows only) Allows viewing and modification of the Engine’s status (stopped / running) and setting of start-up preferences (i.e. whether Engine and Monitor should be run automatically at system start-up). It also provides easy access to the Administration Console. For details, refer to chapter 2.10. 26
2.10 Kerio Control Engine Monitor (Windows) Note: Kerio Control Engine is independent from the Kerio Control Engine Monitor. The Engine can be running even if there is no icon in the system tray. Kerio Administration Console (Windows only) It is a versatile console for full local or remote administration of Kerio Technologies server products. For successful connection to an application you need a plug-in with an appropriate interface. Kerio Administration Console is installed on Windows hand-in-hand with the appropriate module during the installation of Kerio Control. The separate installation package Kerio Administration Console for Kerio Control is available for remote administration from another host. The Kerio Administration Console is available for Windows only, but it can be used for administration of both Kerio Control installed on Windows and Kerio Control Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance. Detailed guidance for Kerio Administration Console is provided in Kerio Administration Console — Help (http://www.kerio.com/firewall/manual). The firewall’s console (Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance only) The firewall’s console is a simple interface permanently running on the Kerio Control host. It allows to set basic parameters of the operating system and the firewall for cases when it is not possible to administer it remotely via the Administration web interface or the Kerio Administration Console. 2.10 Kerio Control Engine Monitor (Windows) Kerio Control Engine Monitor is a standalone utility used to control and monitor the Kerio Control Engine status. The icon of this component is displayed on the toolbar. Figure 2.6 Kerio Control Engine Monitor icon in the Notification Area If Kerio Control Engine is stopped, a white crossed red spot appears on the icon. Starting or stopping the service can take several seconds. For this time the icon gets grey and is inactive. On Windows, left double-clicking on this icon runs the Kerio Administration Console (described later). Use the right mouse button to open the following menu: Start-up Preferences With these options Kerio Control Engine and/or Engine Monitor applications can be set to be launched automatically when the operating system is started. Both options are enabled by default. Administration Runs Kerio Administration Console (equal to double-clicking on the Engine Monitor icon). 27
