Install a Fix Pack in a remote perimeter server

Remote perimeter servers are not automatically updated by a fix pack. You must reinstall the perimeter server using the new perimeter server installation file supplied with the fix pack.

To update a Remote Perimeter Server:

To update a Remote Perimeter Server with the latest fix pack, complete the following steps:

Obtain the fix pack from the Support Center web site. These files have a name that identifies a version number. For example, ps_2006.jar.
Navigate to the following directory:
- For Windows: \<install_dir>\packages
- For Unix/Linux: /<install_dir>/packages
Note: If you are using Windows, you must run Command Prompt as an administrator.
Locate the perimeter server file.
Copy the fix pack file to a directory on the remote server.
Stop the perimeter server by using the following command:
- For Windows: stopPSService.cmd
- For Unix/Linux: ./stopPs.sh
Enter the following command to start the installation:
- For Windows:
```
\<absolutePath>\bin\java -jar <filename>.jar -interactive
```
- For Unix/Linux:
```
/<absolutePath>/bin/java -jar <filename>.jar -interactive
```
Where the <absolutePath> is the name of the directory where the Java version is installed.

The program verifies the operating system, required patch level, and the location and version of the JDK.
Enter the full path to the installation directory.
If you do not want to change any settings for your perimeter server, specify the same directory where the remote perimeter server was originally installed.
Answer the question:
There is an existing install at that location, update it while keeping existing settings?

If yes, the installation will proceed without additional entries.

Note: If you want to change any of the settings, you must use a new directory, or delete the old installation before performing the new installation. You cannot overwrite an existing installation, and you cannot use an existing directory that does not contain a valid installation. The existing installation must be V5.2 or later.

When the perimeter server is installed, the following message is displayed:

Installation of Perimeter Service is finished
Navigate to the installation directory.
Start the perimeter server by using the following command:
- For Windows: startupPs.cmd
- For Unix/Linux: ./startupPs.sh
