Pre-Upgrade Steps

Follow these steps before you upgrade Tenable Security Center:

See the Release Notes for upgrade paths.

Tenable recommends that you stop all running Tenable Security Center processes before you start an upgrade. If any processes are running (for example: Tenable Nessus scans), the following message appears along with the related process names and their PIDs:

"SecurityCenter has determined that the following jobs are still running. Please wait a few minutes before performing the upgrade again. This will allow the running jobs to complete their tasks."

If you get the same message, you can either stop the process manually or wait for jobs to complete before you proceed.

To stop processes, see the steps provided in the Backups section in the Post-Deployment Best Practices.

Make sure to perform a Tenable Security Center backup before you upgrade. For more information, see Backup and Restore.
