Dear Team, we are in the need of the instalation guide for the RSA netwitness 10.6.5 we have gone through the documentation but not getting any clearity, we came accross virtual host instalation guide only.
Can anyone please guide us in the right direction, or do we need to follow any older documentation for the same.
Hi John,
Yes, it's required as we have older back up avialable with us so we will go to 10.6.5 first and then will upgrade.
Also on the link provided was able to find doc having name "RSA Security Analytics 10.6.5 Update Guide" but it talks about the update process only we have the clean box available and want to do the fresh instalation on the same.
Can you help us to identify the crrect document.
Our understanding is it should have a name like " RSA Security Analytics Physical Host Setup Guide"
The only way to do a fresh install is to use the 10.6.0 ISO (physical install) or 10.6.0 OVA (virtual machine install). Then you will use the upgrade guide to bring the system up to 10.6.5.0 from 10.6.0. You should have access to the ISO or OVA on your MyRSA. Once you have the 10.6.0 on your fresh machine you can then follow the 10.6.5 Upgrade guide. Here are the 10.6.5 upgrade files that you will need RSA Security Analytics 10.6.5 Downloads. Please review the 10.6.5 upgrade guide to make sure you fully understand the process before proceeding.
The naming of the Upgrade guide that you are looking for doesn't start until you get into 11.x. That is where we split the virtual and the physical upgrades into different guides. What you have is the correct document.
Hi John,
Thanks for the information
can you please share the RSA Security Analytics Physical Host Setup Guide/steps for 10.6.0 ISO version so that we can use that accordingly.
Here is the location for all the 10.6.0 documentation RSA Security Analytics 10.6. In the right hand column called View By Category you can see the Installation & Upgrade link. Click on that link and it will show you all the Installation & Upgrade guides. You should be able to use the 10.6.0 Update Checklist and Update Instructions.
Here is a Knowledge Base article for how to build a 10.6 USB build stick. 000026988 - How to create and use a USB buildstick for RSA NetWitness Platform 10.6.x appliances
Hi John,
We are able to see the upgradation link but not the fresh instalation link can you please help with that, it will be great if we can get that document.
Hi John,
Waiting for your kind response.
Anil,
Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I can't find a specific installation guide for 10.6.0.0. However if you follow the instructions in the knowledge article I linked above that will get your server setup with the base 10.6.0.0 image. From there you can follow the normal upgrade guides to get you to 10.6.5 that you are looking for.
In the USB build image it will ask you specifically what server you are attempting to rebuild. This will tell the system what packages to install on it so that it will be the system type you requested (i.e. UI server, Concentrator, Network Decoder, Log Decoder, etc.). As this software has been end of life for over 2 years what documentation that is still available is all that we have access to.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance.
Anil,
Is there a reason you are looking specifically for 10.6.5? 10.6.x has been end of life for over a year now. We currently do have 10.6.5 documentation but I highly suggest upgrading to 11.3 or higher as soon as possible as 10.6.x is no longer supported.
