5 0 0:Updating SEP sesam Using CLI


This is documentation for SEP sesam version 5.0.0 Jaglion.
This is not the latest version of SEP sesam documentation and, as such, does not provide information on features introduced in the latest release. For more information on SEP sesam releases, see SEP sesam Release Versions. For the latest documentation, check SEP sesam documentation.


Overview


This article provides information on available update options and procedures that were introduced in 4.4.3 Beefalo and fine-tuned in 4.4.3 Beefalo V2. As updating SEP sesam is version-related, some of the described update options and procedures may not be available in earlier versions. If you are running a version ≤ 4.4.3 Grolar, see Updating SEP sesam in earlier versions.

As of Beefalo/Beefalo V2, the sm_update_client command implements all the features of the sm_update_client, as well as the previously used sm_remote_installer and sm_config_client commands that have been deprecated.

SEP sesam GUI can now be used to automatically check for updates and update your individual client(s), perform mass update of all clients within the location or all clients according to their OS (Linux or Windows). You can also use the GUI option Install SEP sesam to remotely install SEP sesam on Windows computers that are available (are added to) in SEP sesam environment. In the same way, you can use the sm_update_client command to install/uninstall (remotely on Windows clients only), check for the updates, and update and configure SEP sesam.

The sm_update_client executable is located in the <SESAM_ROOT>/bin/sesam/, for example C:\Program Files\SEPsesam\bin\sesam\ on Windows. The sm_update_client command is aware of the operating system of the component that needs to be updated and does not perform an update if the available update package is not supported on the respective system.

Usage of sm_update_client

The following options are available:

update|up|-U update client package
sp_update|su update client service pack
