Upgrading VMS Gateway on Red Hat

This article outlines the steps to update your existing installation to the latest release on Red Hat based systems.

This article is intended for users who are currently running VMS Gateway 8.1 or above.

Upgrade steps

These steps are the same as a fresh installation; however, your configuration is retained by the installation process.

Expert users can download the .rpm file here if required; however, we recommend following the instructions to download and install in two simple commands.

Do you have a multi-PC installation?

You should perform the following steps on the primary PC first (the one running the web interface) and then on each of your additional PCs!

  • Open the Terminal application – this should give you a command prompt

  • Check the current directory does not already have a file called vmsg-x86-latest.rpm - if it does, delete it with:

rm vmsg-x86-latest.rpm
  • Download VMS Gateway using this command

wget http://get.edgevis.com/vmsg-x86-latest.rpm
  • Run the installer using this command:

sudo rpm -U ./vmsg-x86-latest.rpm
  • You will be asked to enter your Red Hat password, and then to confirm installation.

After the installer has completed, allow your system a couple of minutes before logging into the web interface. Your virtual ONVIF devices may take up to five minutes to become available as they are upgraded to the latest release.
