 So there's a new version of the unified controller software out and it's not an exciting release unfortunately. This is still the 5.8 series so we're in 527 we're in a 5.8.28 and you have the usual various bug fixes and improvements so like I said not a super exciting release but nonetheless we always update to the latest version. I don't really have a problem doing it I'm not really running to any major issues but always make sure you have a backup always make sure that you are prepared to do this. So so far flipping through forums and things like that no one I waited a day because well I was busy yesterday and so it seems to be perfectly fine no one really has any major deployment issues here's our current system up and running on my test site we're going to be doing a VPN video soon so here it is up and running and here is the virtual machine that runs it because I'm going to start there of actually how we do the update process. This actually runs our unified Wi-Fi and video so this runs the unified camera server in our office and it runs there it's a VM with four cores two gigs and not actually using all that much memory and a 60 gig virtual hard drive so here it is logged into it and you can see up and running with the camera server and that we're using like 1.2 gigs one it doesn't take a whole lot to run these but there are if you look at here there's a lot of processes that get kicked off oops show it this way here we go here's all the different little Java processes get off it running the unified system so if you ever wonder what it looks like from the back end here it is I always run my unified controllers on a W base Linux so now we're going to go ahead and download the latest version but before we do anything we actually start here snapshot new snapshot and I'm using Zen Orchestra this can be done because this is our Zen server as an orchestra web interface to configure it just because the forms that it went smooth and everything went well for people doesn't mean I shouldn't back it up and make a quick copy and just in case now I always have you know weekly whole snapshots of my VMs like exported external copies so I can restore my system but we always start with a quick snapshot of the system that way if I do something wrong or if the update goes wrong I just revert real quick back to a working copy and no big deal we start over so W get and download the file now I'm running WN I already copied the link here unify CSV and it all that's the right versions we're gonna W get it and we we go and I realize it gives it the same name all the time so I actually forgot to delete the old ones I'll have to do a quick rename here so there's that one that's the old one you tell by the date from June 29th we want this one from August 7th so let's rename that one so it has a dot dev extension there we go then we just type in d package dash I unify CSV in it at all press enter and away it goes it's installing first thing it does is has a stop the unify controller comes up with the config file here is reckoning your backup and selling your version do you have a backup we sure do we just created a snapshot unpacking replacement all right the controller started so we'll move this out of the way now it looks like it's still loaded but actually if we refresh your page you'll probably log me out yep it did and everything's red and this happens when you first do this because it's got to take a second for everything to sync back up and start contacting the devices and wait for them to send their signals back to the server so when you do research server there is this kind of delay before everything kind of sinks back up but it happens relatively fast I look at our office here because these devices are local versus our test sites has some remote stuff on there these have already synced right back up for our local devices that are in here and away we go so we have the devices all showing all pinging all showing connected and our statistics page there's no system we don't have a USG here to get it but back up and running and good to go and now we can look at some of the changes again like I said we went from the five to four nothing major here fixed management vlan issue with a certain model a high broken RSA histogram on a nano HD fix autocomplete for radius server add setup size for unify key like I said there's not a lot of changes here this isn't a major change it's just kind of some minor upgrade fix bug that would reset USG port speed duplex about with controller upgrade that's actually a nice one there we haven't really run into that I remove tkp only option from WP security mode so I guess we can look at that real quick that's actually kind of interesting so if we go over here to our settings wireless networks yep tkp is gone so I guess that is kind of a big change if you have people that require tkip settings they may not want to upgrade to this then so that's that's definitely a concern it does support WP one still or bolts which we're gonna leave it where it was here so that's kind of interesting I think we only have one client but they have an internal controller that's using tkip it's because of some really old equipment they have it's I know it's insecure but it's kind of a unique locked-down network and we've done other things to help mitigate this network to accommodate that but those are issues you're gonna run into so I guess it's noteworthy if you move tkip on here in this version so don't upgrade if you have a use case for that or make sure those sites are on a separate controller but that's it the upgrade process is that simple with the unifies it's we've done it many many times it's always gone really smooth there is a delay depending on how many sites you have we have a lot of sites on here so that's going to cause it to take a little bit longer to sometimes if there's a database upgrade in between weather nap make sure you have a backup and you know backup your controller like we do is easy way to do it or go into this maintenance controller and actually back up the settings here right here is the backup itself or auto backup so you know where the files are going we have it downloading these automatically now I know someone's gonna say hey why don't you just have this as part of the repository we have apt-get auto updating on our system and we don't want it to auto update unexpectedly because I do read what the changes are to make sure that there's not any issues before we apply them so because we have our systems that do auto update because I'd rather have a system constantly be secure I am conscious though of the Unify releases and then I wait and deploy those parts manually that's why I don't have a part of my regular repository alright thanks for watching and hopefully this was helpful it's it is that simple it's pretty pain-free during doing the updates with
