Migrating the Security Server Role

The Security Server Role for GravityZone Virtual Appliance has stopped receiving product updates after version 6.3.0.617, released in April 2025.

This occurred because the role depended on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which officially reached End of Life (EOL) on May 31, 2025.

To migrate the Security Server Role, follow these steps:

  1. Access the appliance console from your virtualization management tool (for example, vSphere Client).

    Use the arrow keys and the Tab key to navigate through menus and options. Press Enter to select a specific option.

  2. In the Appliance Options menu, go to Advanced Settings.

  3. Select Uninstall Security Server. A confirmation window is displayed.

  4. Press the Y key, or press Enter while having the Yes option selected to continue. Wait until the uninstallation finishes.

  5. Deploy a new Security Server.

    For more information, refer to Security Server.

  6. After deployment, connect the Security Server to GravityZone.

    For more information, refer to Communication Server configuration.

  7. Add the IP and/or hostname of the Security Server.

    For more information, refer to Security Servers.

For best practices, refer to Configuring the environment for Central Scan.
