Release Notes for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 6.0.3

Last updated on 12.12.2011

About


Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is designed to organize and control integrated, complex and reliable anti-virus protection of computers of a company.

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite has a client-server architecture. Client components of anti-virus network are installed on the protected workstations of users and administrators (network servers). Enterprise Server provides for centralized administrating of the anti-virus and anti-spam protection of the company's network, including deployment, virus databases and program files updates on protected computers, monitoring of virus events and the state of the anti-virus packages and OS’s on all protected computers.

An aggregate of computers on which Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite cooperating components are installed is called an anti-virus network. To deploy the anti-virus network, the advantages of Active Directory technology employed in servers under Windows OS's can be used.

To exchange information between Server(s) and Agents network protocols TCP/IP and IPX/SPX, NetBIOS could be used. That allows to deploy the anti-virus network keeping historical topology of the network.

Upgrade to Enterprise Security Suite 6.0.3

Upgrade Notes

1.Starting from version 5.0 anti-virus package includes SpIDer Gate and Office Control components. For using this components, they must be included in you license (Antivirus+Antispam). If you license does not include this components, it is recommended to perform the actions described below.
2.During upgrade of the Server software, contents of the repository are removed and new version is installed.

If after Server upgrade from the 5.0 and earlier versions, the repository has not been removed, it is necessary to remove its contents and renew it manually.

3.For a network with several Severs, from the main Server with 6.0.3 version to child Servers with 5.0 and earlier versions, only virus bases are transmitted.

To transmit all software and Agent updates, upgrade child Servers to 6.0.3 version (for repositories  compatibility).

4.If you are using the ODBC for Oracle as an external database, select the Custom option and in the opened window, disable the installation of Oracle client in the Database support - Oracle database driver section in the installer settings during the Server upgrading (or reinstallation).

Otherwise, Oracle DB functioning will fail because of the libraries conflict.

5.After the Server upgrading from the 4.XX version to 6.0.3 version, the transport parameter must be present in the drwcsd.conf configuration file of the Server:

Transport "drwcs" "tcp/0.0.0.0:2193" "udp/231.0.0.1:2193"

where the drwcs is a Server name.

If this parameter is not specified, add it manually and restart the Server.

6.Dr.Web Control Center configuration file (webmin.conf) of versions, that is earlier than 6.0.2, is not compatible with the 6.0.3 version software. After upgrading the Server of version, that is earlier than 6.0.2, you cannot replace a new configuration file with a backup copy of the 4.XX configuration file and have to make all necessary changes manually.

Upgrading the Dr.Web Enterprise Server for Windows® OS

Two modes of upgrading the Server to 6.0.3 version are available:

1.Automatic. Upgrading the Server of 5.0 and 6.0.0 versions can be done automatically by using the installer.

Automatic upgrade is supported for Servers with the same capacity only.

For example, if on x64 computer the x32 Server is installed, run x64 installer does not detect installed Server to start upgrade and installs the new Server in parallel. In such cases, it is necessary to delete the old Server and install the new Server manually.

2.Manual. To upgrade Server software of 4.XX versions and 6.0.2 version and later, delete Server software of current versions and install the new Server.

Saving Configuration Files

During deleting of the Server manually or upgrading by using the installer, the following files will be backed up automatically:

dbinternal.dbs internal database,
drwcsd.conf Server configuration file (the name may vary),
drwcsd.pri and drwcsd.pub encryption keys,
enterprise.key and agent.key Server and Agent license key files (names may vary),
certificate.pem SSL certificate,
private-key.pem RSA private key.

If necessary, copy other critical files you want to preserve to another folder, other than Server installation folder. For instance, copy the Dr.Web Control Center configuration file (webmin.conf) and report templates which are stored in the \var\templates folder.

Saving Database

Before upgrade Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite software, it is recommender to backup database.

For Servers with external DB, it is recommended to use standard tools supplied with the database.

Make sure, that Dr.Web ESS DB export completed successfully. If DB backup copy is not  available, the Server could not be restored in emergency case.
