Update Sheriff CSM Offline
Updating your Sheriff CSM offline requires use of the following items
- A Sheriff CSM ISO image
- A USB drive with a USB 2.0 interface to burn the ISO image
In order to perform an offline update on Sheriff CSM, you first need to download the ISO image of the version you desire. For instructions, see
Download a Sheriff CSM ISO Image.
Then you need to burn the ISO image to a USB drive. For instructions, see
Burn the Sheriff CSM ISO Image to a USB Drive.
Using an ISO image burned to a USB drive is the preferred way to update Sheriff CSM offline. However, the Sheriff CSM VMware image does not contain a USB controller, therefore you cannot connect a USB drive to it. For instructions on how to add a USB controller in a virtual machine, see
VMware's knowledge base article about USB support.
If using a USB drive is not an option, you can upload the ISO image to a datastore and then access it through a CD or DVD drive. Click the following links for instructions from VMware documentation respectively
Finally, you can follow the procedure below to update your Sheriff CSM.
Important: To ensure performance, based on the Sheriff CSM data sheet, the update process terminates when you have more than 200 million events in the database.
