This post walks through the upgrade of McAfee MOVE to version 4.5.0 with NSX Manager, and can be used when upgrading McAfee MOVE Agentless versions 3.5.x, 3.6.x, and 4.0.0. The upgrade of versions 3.5.x or 3.6.x involves migrating all custom settings, policies and tasks with the McAfee MOVE Migration Assistant (these are retained by default when upgrading from version 4.0.0).
Pre-Requisites
The benefits and architecture of offloading AV to a dedicated Service Virtual Machine (SVM) with McAfee MOVE and NSX are covered in the McAfee MOVE with NSX Install Guide. The scope of this guide is to upgrade an existing McAfee MOVE installation and as such it is assumed that NSX Manager, IP Pools, service deployments (i.e. Guest Introspection), policies, and ePO integration are all in place. Furthermore it is assumed that network connectivity between components, time sync, DNS, vSphere access, etc. are also configured. For a full list of pre-requisities see the above install guide. The requirements below are specific to the McAfee MOVE 4.5 upgrade:
- McAfee MOVE 4.5 is compatible with vSphere 5.5 U2 and above (including vSphere 6.5), NSX 6.1.2 and above, and ePO 5.1.3 and above.
- To confirm exact versions see the McAfee MOVE Compatibility Matrix KB.
- If you need to upgrade vShield or NSX Manager to compatible versions see Upgrading vShield Manager to NSX Manager or NSX Manager Upgrade.
- Check your McAfee grant to ensure your licensing entitles you to upgrade to MOVE 4.5.
- The Migration Assistant is compatible with McAfee MOVE 3.5.x and 3.6.x.
- Before beginning take a backup of NSX Manager. The only supported backup method for NSX Manager is FTP/SFTP, see VMware NSX Backup and Restore for more details.
- Review the official McAfee documentation:
Update Extensions
The first step is to update the extensions on the ePO server. When upgrading versions 3.5.x or 3.6.x the existing extensions are left in place to facilitate the migration of data, which we’ll cover later. When upgrading version 4.0.0 the extensions are replaced with the new versions, all settings and policies remain.
I am going to use Software Manager to download, install, and check in the software direct on the ePO web UI. If you prefer you can manually download the extensions on your own machine and then install them through the Extensions page (more info on this below). To use Software Manager click the drop down Menu option in the top left hand corner of the page and select Software Manager. Use the search function to find McAfee MOVE AntiVirus 4.5. Browse through the components, you will notice the Migration Assistant is included, click Check In All.
Accept the license agreement and click Ok. The extensions are downloaded and installed.
An alternative way of installation or updating extensions is to browse to McAfee Downloads, enter your grant number when prompted and then select McAfee MOVE AV for Virtual Servers, McAfee MOVE AntiVirus 4.5. Download the required files and then browse to the web interface of the ePO server (https://EPO:8443/ where EPO is the name of your EPO server). Log in as an administrator and click the drop down Menu option in the top left hand corner of the page. Locate Software, and select Extensions. Click Install Extension and install the downloaded zip files in the following order: Cloud Workload Discovery Cloud_Workload_Discovery_Hybrid_4.5.0.zip (note that the CommonUI bundle; mfs-commonui-core-ui,commonui-core-common and commonui-core-rest extensions, is a pre-req for the Cloud Workload Discovery 4.5 for ePO 5.1.3 and 5.3.1), McAfee MOVE AntiVirus extension MOVE-AV_Ext_4.5.0_Licensed.zip, Product Help extension MOVE-AV_HELP_EXT_4.5.0.zip.
Which ever way you install the extensions, ensure you download MOVE-AL-AL_SVM_OVF_4.5.0.148 (or most recent version). This zip file contains the Service Virtual Machine (SVM), which we’ll need to add to the SVM repository later.
Once the extensions are installed the new version of MOVE AntiVirus will be visible in the Data Center Security group, under Menu > Software > Extensions.
For those upgrading versions 3.5.x or 3.6.x the old extensions remain in place in the MOVE AV group.
You will also notice an additional option in the Automation menu; MOVE AV Agentless remains as the legacy option for versions 3.5.x or 3.6.x, and MOVE AntiVirus Deployment is created for version 4.5.0. The legacy MOVE AV Agentless option is deleted upon removal of the old extensions at the end of the process. Again, doesn’t apply to 4.0.0 because in this case the extensions are upgraded, rather than running side by side.
Migration Assistant
The Migration Assistant can be used when upgrading from MOVE versions 3.5.x or 3.6.x, if you are upgrading from 4.0.0 then this step is not necessary. Use one of the methods outlined above to install the Migration Assistant extension. If you used Software Manager to install the full McAfee MOVE AntiVirus 4.5 package then the Migration Assistant should already be installed. If you need to manually downloading and install the extension then when using McAfee downloads you need to change the Software Downloads tab to Extensions to view the Migration extension, as shown below.
When the install is complete; in the ePO web UI click the drop down Menu option, under Software, click Extensions. The MOVE Migration Assistant 4.5 is listed under Data Center Security.
We can now go ahead and run the Migration Assistant; from the drop down Menu, under Policy, select MOVE Migration Assistant.
Select Automatic migration to migrate all settings for supported products (note that unassigned policies are not migrated) and click Next. To select only certain policies or edit policies you can use the Manual migration option, for more information see page 10 of the McAfee MOVE Migration Guide.
Review the items to be migrated, you can rename and edit the policy notes if required by clicking Rename and Edit Notes. When you’re ready to start migrating click Save.
Once the migration job has finished go back into the MOVE Migration Assistant, next to Migrate Agentless Deployment Configuration Details (Agentless Only) select Run, and click Next. Click Ok to confirm migrating configuration details.
When the config migration has completed click the drop down Menu option and under Automation select MOVE AntiVirus Deployment. You will see the SVM configuration and NSX registrations have all been migrated across.
Note that if you are upgrading from 3.5.x then the NSX certificate and credential data is migrated across, however you still need to enter the SVM configuration under Menu, Automation, MOVE AntiVirus Deployment, Configuration, General.
Upgrade SVM Registration
Now we need to add version 4.5.0 of the Service Virtual Machine (SVM) to the SVM repository, and update the registered SVM version with NSX Manager. In the ePO web UI click Menu, under Automation select MOVE AntiVirus Deployment. From the Configuration tab select SVM Repository, click Actions, Add SVM. Browse to the zip file containing the SVM we downloaded earlier and click Ok.
The new version of the SVM will now be listed in the repository.
Next go to Menu, Automation, MOVE AntiVirus Deployment. In the Configuration tab NSX Manager details and credentials should still be in place. Click the Service tab. The Registered SVM Version will still show the old version, from the Actions column for the NSX Manager click Upgrade. Select the new SVM version and click Ok. The latest version of the MOVE SVM is now registered with the selected NSX Manager.
Upgrade NSX Components
The final stage is to update the NSX security policy and service deployments. Log into the vSphere web client and click Networking & Security from the home page. Select Service Composer and then the Security Policies tab. As we’re upgrading an existing McAfee MOVE solution you should already have an AV related policy or policies configured, we need to reconfigure those to point at the new MOVE policies that were migrated across in ePO. Select the security policy to update and click the Edit icon.
Click Guest Introspection Services and select the existing guest introspection service, click the edit icon and make a note of the existing settings. Cancel out of the edit window and click the red cross to delete the guest introspection service. Click the green plus symbol to add a new service.
Enter a name for the service and ensure Apply is selected, use the McAfee MOVE AV service and select the ePO policy from the Service Profile drop down. The state should be set to Enabled and select Yes to enforce the policy. Use the same settings as the previous service if you like, the only difference will be the new service profile (ePO policy). Click Ok.
Select the Security Groups tab. Confirm that existing security groups are in place with the NSX security policy associated with the McAfee ePO policy applied. If needed you can select a group and click the apply policy icon to apply the security policy edited above to a security group.
Finally, we can update the Service Virtual Machines deployed on the ESXi hosts. From the left hand navigation pane select Installation and the Service Deployments tab. Existing installations will be listed here, with an Upgrade Available status. Service deployments are installed at vSphere cluster level, select the vSphere cluster to upgrade and click the Upgrade icon.
New versions of the SVM are pushed out to each ESXi host in the selected cluster, replacing old versions using the same configuration details (datastore, port group, IP address range). Once complete the new version number is listed, the installation status is succeeded, and the service status is up.
If you upgraded version 3.5.x or 3.6.x you can remove the legacy MOVE extensions once you have updated the SVM registration and service deployments on each vCenter. In the ePO web UI open the Extensions page, locate the old version of the McAfee MOVE extension and click Remove.
If any of the components referenced above are not in place, or you need to deploy McAfee MOVE AV to a new vSphere cluster, see the McAfee MOVE with NSX Install Guide post. The only other thing worth noting is I had a vCenter where the MOVE service registration was failing, I had to remove the MOVE service deployments and service definition from NSX Manager, remove the vCenter from cloud accounts in ePO, and then add it all back in as a new install, deploying the SVM as a fresh 4.5 install rather than an upgrade.
Dans cela quelque chose est. Il est clair, je remercie de l’information.
