Installing a Software Upgrade in SafeMode

SWI files are used to upgrade On-Premises Analytics. You can download the latest SWI image file from MySonicWall.

In SafeMode, you can upload a new SWI image and apply it to the On-Premises Analytics instance. The SafeMode web management interface is used to perform an upgrade, rather than SafeMode in the Management Console. When viewing the Management Console in SafeMode, the URL for the SafeMode web interface is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

In SafeMode, the web management interface is only available via http (not https).

To install a new system image from SafeMode

1. With the On-Premises Analytics instance in SafeMode, view the management console. At the bottom of the screen, the URL for the SafeMode web management interface is displayed.

2. In a browser, navigate to the URL provided at the bottom of the Management Console screen. The SafeMode web management interface displays.

   

3. Click the Upload Image button to select an SWI file and then click Upload to upload the image to the appliance. A progress bar provides feedback on the file upload progress. Once the upload completes, the image is available in the Image Management list in the SafeMode web interface.

4. In the row with the uploaded image file, click the Boot button and select one of the following:

   • Boot Uploaded Image with Current Configuration
   • Boot Uploaded Image with Factory Default Configuration

   

   The On-Premises Analytics Instance reboots with the new image.
