Upgrade the Audit Vault Agent

Upgrading the Audit Vault Agent can take about 30 minutes.

Caution: Once the --migrateAgent command has successfully completed, you can’t restore the source Audit Vault Server. Once the agent is notified to connect to the destination Audit Vault Server, those agents can no longer be rolled back to connect to the source Audit Vault Server.

  1. Log in to the source Audit Vault Server through SSH as the root user.

    ssh support@<audit_vault_server_ip_address>
su - root

  2. Use tmux to run the Audit Vault Agent upgrade script:

    /usr/local/dbfw/migrate_20x/avsMigrateSource --migrateAgent

    When prompted enter

    • The IP address of the destination Audit Vault Server

    • The TCP port, 1521 by default

    To verify the upgrade status, log in to the source Audit Vault Server console as an administrator and select Agents. You will know that the upgrade is complete when the Agent status changes to Running on the Audit Vault Server console.

    Once the upgrade is complete, the Audit Vault Agent will have the $AGENT_HOME/av/log/av.agent.deploy.log on the agent host updated.

  3. Once the upgrade is complete, restart the audit trails on the destination Audit Vault Server (DBSecCentral).

    For more information see Stopping, Starting, and Autostart of Audit Trails in the Audit Vault Server in the Oracle Database Security Central Administrator’s Guide.
