Reimage an Appliance Using Virtual RMM Media
You can use Remote Management Module (RMM) virtual media to reimage the Web Gateway appliance software on a physical appliance and upgrade it to a new version.
You can connect to the RMM virtual media from a system within your network where Java is installed.
- Download the Web Gateway .iso image file to the system you are using to connect to the RMM virtual media.
- On this system, open a browser and go to the Skyhigh Content & Cloud Security Portal at https://contentsecurity.skyhigh.cloud/.
- Submit your user name and password.
- On the home page, select Software | Web Gateway 7 | Download.
- Click the icon for the .iso file version you want to download.
A download window opens. - Select the option for storing a file and click OK.
The .iso file is downloaded to this system.
- Log on to the Web Gateway appliance.
- On the system for connecting to the RMM virtual media, open a browser and go to:
https://<RMM IP address>
When prompted for credentials, submit the credentials you logged on with to the appliance.
- Select the .iso file and complete these substeps to use the RMM virtual media for the reimaging process.
- On the Remote Control tab, click Launch Console.
- On the Device tab, select Redirect ISO. Then browse to the .iso file and select it.
- On the Remote Control tab, select Server Power Control | Power Cycle Server.
The .iso file is made available for reimaging the appliance. - On the Device tab, deselect Redirect ISO.
