The correct approach for upgrading Guardium depends on multiple factors, which include the version you are upgrading from, the hardware of your system, and any special partitioning requirements you might have. A common way to upgrade Guardium to the latest version is the upgrade patch method. Use an upgrade patch to upgrade all systems in a managed environment. The upgrade patch preserves all data and configurations with the exception of UI customizations due to a new UI architecture.

In this course, you learn how to plan a Guardium 11 upgrade, how to install the upgrade patch, and how to troubleshoot common installation failures.

Most organizations use the software offering to deploy Guardium because they can take advantage of virtualization. The Guardium Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-only solution that you install on a host hypervisor machine such as VMware ESXI server.

In this lab you create a virtual machine, install the Guardium image, and perform basic configuration steps to connect the appliance to the network.
