Preferences

• If the Manager and Server are on the same machine or if you
do not know the Server’s IP address, do not change the
default value (localhost).
•
Otherwise, type the IP address of the Server machine.
Upgrading the Manager
In some cases, the Manager installation file on the Skybox 5500 Appliance is outdated. In this case,
you can use the new Manager installation file that you downloaded (or received from Skybox
Security’s product support team) to replace the old installation file. This way, when Skybox View
users install the Manager via the Appliance, they will be installing the latest version.
To upgrade the Manager installation file
1 Copy the installation file (SkyboxViewInstaller-<version#>-<build#>.exe) to the
Skybox 5500 Appliance using PuTTY, WinSCP, or any other client program.
The file should be saved at:
/opt/skyboxwebadmin/web/manager/.
2 Delete any other files in this directory, including the previous installation file that was there. The
directory must contain only the new installation file.
