ESMC 7.0.471 VA wont update

[SG_Infra 0]

Hi Everyone,

 

We have been running the ESMC 7.0.471 appliance for almost 9 months. The OS on the OVA which we downloaded from ESET seems to update fine. Its currently CentOS 7.6.1810. We've run the component upgrade task on the ESMC appliance several times over the past few months and restarted the appliance. It updates the agent, but it doesn't update the server itself. The documentation seems to be a bit sketchy. When you search for update v7 ESMC, there's a lot of information about upgrading from V6 to v7, but very little on updating v7 versions. Am I missing something obvious?

 

Thanks in advance.

What version of the ESMC server do you have installed? On VA you should have v.7.0.471 according to https://support.eset.com/kb3690/.

Hi Marcos,

Yes, that's the version we have installed (7.0.471), but if I go to download the latest OVA its on 7.0.72 which seems to be substantially more up to date than 7.0.471 which doesn't appear to have been updated since 2018. 

So I'm really confused now. If I'm doing a fresh install I can download and get 7.0.72, but if I'm an existing customer I have to migrate?

 

The components we have running are:-

ESET Rogue Detection Sensor 1.1.615.0	Up-to-date version
ESET Security Management Center Server 7.0.471.0	Up-to-date version
ESET Management Agent 7.1.367.0	Up-to-date version

The latest version of the ESMC server is 7.0.471. 7.0.72 is the number of the release which contains components some of which may be same as before and some that have been updated.

Since the last service release only a few components have been updated:

The server itself hasn't been updated for several months already; we're about to release v7.1 this fall.

Ah! Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I'll look out for 7.1 later in the year.
