IBM QRadar

Hello,

I need to upgrade Qradar siem 7.5.0 GA and I have to do manually because my Qradar doesn't come out on the Internet. Can I downloaded the updatepackage  7.5.0-QRADAR-QRSIEM-20241008193358  o Do I have before install other packages?

Thank you in advance

Regards

For upgrades you need to download the Upgrade Pack, mount it on the console and execute the installed from there; some useful resources:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SS42VS_7.5/pdf/b_qradar_upgrade.pdf
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/qradar-software-update-checklist-administrators
Check the release notes for the intended Update Pack before proceeding, as there may be some additional important information; e.g. to install 7.5.0UP8 you need to be on 7.5.0UP7 (otherwise generally Update Pack are cumulative and do not have such requirements), you may need to check if there is an impact on your installed WinCollect agents, etc. 

For updates on systems that do not have direct or proxied connection to the Internet, have a look at this technote:

Hi Dusan,

I have Qradar 7.5.0 GA (Build 20211220195207). I can't understand if I can install the later updatepackage  7.5.0-QRADAR-QRSIEM-20241008193358

Thank a lot

Bye

Though it does not say explicitly in the Release notes for 7.5.0UP10
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/release-qradar-750-update-package-10-sfs-202161020241008193358
I would suggest updating first to 7.5.0UP7, as that was a requirements to go to UP8
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.5?topic=upgrading-qradar-siem-750-up8

The release notes and the checklist here
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/738599#tab_2
should be helpful

(Also, you might wish to apply the 7.5.0UP10IF01 afterwards - which is specific only for 7.5.0UP10 ; the release notes list what would be resolved by applying it
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/release-qradar-750-update-package-10-interim-fix-01-sfs-20241028190757int

Hello Simona,

Here is the upgrade path you need to follow 7.5.0 GA -> 7.5.0 UP7 -> 7.5.0 UP8 -> 7.5.0 UP10.
This is the shortest path and There is is no alternate option other than this.
