- Use SSH to log in to the Console as the root user.
NOTE: When you log in, the SSH session should display 7.4.3 as the Console's version. This is verification that the QRadar Console has been updated to 7.4.3, which is required before you update your Incident Forensics appliance. - Open an SSH session to the QRadar Incident Forensics appliance.
- To run the ISO installer, type the following command: /media/dvd/setup
Important: Installing QRadar Incident Forensics 7.4.3 can take 1 to 2 hours to complete on the appliance.

Part 2. Installation wrap-up
- After all hosts are updated, send an email to your team to inform them that they will need to clear their browser cache before they log in to the QRadar Incident Forensics SIEM interface.
- To unmount the /media/dvd directory, type: umount /media/dvd
- Delete the ISO from the appliance.
- Review any static routes or customized routing. As mentioned in the administrator notes, all routes were removed and will need to be reconfigured after the upgrade completes.
- Review any iptable rules that are configured as the interface names have changed in QRadar Incident Forensics 7.4.3 due to the Red Hat Enterprise 7 operating system updates. Update any iptables rules that use Red Hat 6 interface naming conventions.
