MARS 4.3.4 UPGRADE TO 6.0.3

I'm a new employee at this company and my first task is to get a Mars 20r working. The version that's installed is 4.3.4. The box contains only configuration information to get it on the network that's all. Basically it's been sitting around for a while.
I thought my first approach would get the latest software installed 6.0.3.
1. My question is what would be the best approach to accomplish this knowing that only basic setup configuration is on the box.
2. Is there a how to guide or step by step doc on getting this running on 6.0.3
to start monitoring the network.
3. I have spent some time asking management on the business requirements on what they need from MARS and I keep hearing PCI Compliance. Does MARS meet the requirement for PCI reporting?
thanks for your replies.

If there's no data and only basic config I'd prefer to install 6 and configure from scratch without exporting/importing any config

I don't know about the PCI question

Pogo games will not load with firefox 3.6

1 Mar 11 firefox automatically upgraded to version 3.6.14, This version is incompatible with running pogo games. I have two machines that I needed to re-install firefox 3.5.17 in order to run pogo

I too have the same problem. I went back to an older version of firefox in order to get my pogo games to work. I would imagine that any site using the java applets will not work with firefox. There is something in the new update that causes the applet to crash or break when started in the newest full version of firefox. I hope they get this bug fixed soon, I like to keep my software as up to date as possible.

Dragging url from Safari to Mail creates web shortcut attachment

I was accustomed to dragging the url from Safari's address bar into an open mail and getting a page title and url text inserted.
This was incredibly useful for sending links of pages to mailing lists in response to questions.
Now in Leopard, dragging the url from Safari's address bar to an open mail creates a web shortcut attachment.
I can see this might be useful , but in a plain text email to a mailing list it's completely useless as it gets stripped my the mailing list software.
now I have to copy and paste the url - a lot more effort and I don't get the page title anymore that way.
Please tell me there's a hidden preference setting that can let me have the old way back...
this tiny little thing is marring my otherwise happy upgrade to 10.5
I just checked this action in my virgin Tiger install on my Mac Mini and dragging from Safari to Mail, gets a plain text url, but no page title, so maybe I had some helper or other adding that little bit...
anyway, I want to drag urls to mail and get text not attachments - can anyone help me?
thanks

I'm used to doing command-L to select the address bar, so to do command-L, command-C, click in the mail message, and hit command-V doesn't seem like much work. But that's me. I also found that if I drag a URL from the address bar it does put the link in without a web shortcut. But if I wanted to send a link in an email, I'd just hit shift-command-i, which opens a new mail with the link in it.
Just some thoughts....

CVS commit comment no longer populated from task after upgrade to Mars

Hi,
after I upgraded to Eclipse Mars, I no longer get the CVS commit comment populated from the active Mylyn Bugzilla task.
I have installed:
Eclipse Mars CDT edition
Mylyn Context Connector: C/C++ Development
Mylyn Context Connector: Eclipse IDE
Mylyn Task List
Mylyn Task-Focused Interface
Mylyn Versions Connector: CVS
Mylyn Versions Connector: Git
In the preferences under Mylyn, Team I have the same Commit Comment Template that I used with all previous Eclipse/Mylyn versions:
${task.key}: ${task.description}
${task.url}
What is missing to get the CVS commit comment populated again from the active Mylyn Bugzilla task?
Thanks
Stephan

Sam Davis wrote on Wed, 15 July 2015 10:56CVS support has been moved to a separate feature. You'll need to install Mylyn Context Connector: CVS Support (org.eclipse.mylyn.team.cvs).
Thanks for the suggestion, Sam. Unfortunately, I can't find the "Mylyn Context Connector: CVS Support" when I select the "Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars" update site. Must I get that from another update site?
Note that I forgot one relevant plugin in my initial question. In addition to the plugins listed there I also have installed the "Mylyn Context Connector: Team Support" plugin. So the full list of Mylyn plugins that I have installed is:

Mars upgrade from 5.3.2 to 6.0.1

Hi all
I have mars version 5.3.2 and I need to upgarde it to the version 6.0.1 to be supported with CSM 3.2.1
My questions:
1- Is Mars 5.3.2 not supported on CSM 3.2.1?
2- Can I upgrade from 5.3.2 to 6.0.1 directly?
3- How to upgrade? steps please.
Thanks on advance,

If Gen 2 is running a version other than 5.3.6, upgrade to 6.0.1 is not supported. You should upgrade from earlier versions of 5.x to 5.3.6. See the Release Notes for Cisco Security MARS Appliance version 6.0.1 for upgrade procedure.
Upgrade from 5.3.6 to 6.0.1. For details on upgrading from 5.x to 6.0.1, see the Release Notes for Cisco Security MARS Appliance version 6.0.1.

Upgrade CS-MARS-20-K9 and licensing

My CS-MARS-20-K9 version: 4.2.1 (2251). I want to upgade to lastest version 6.0.7.
I see two way to upgrade:
method 1. re-image using a 6.0.1 dvd recovery. and upgrade use other patch: 6.02, 6.03, 6.0.4, 6.0.5, 6.0.6, 6.0.7. I lose my database this way.
Method 2. upgarde to 4.3.6 (upgrade around 15 patch from 4.2.1 to 4.3.6) so I can upgrade to 6.0.1 and upgrade use other patch: 6.02, 6.03, 6.0.4, 6.0.5, 6.0.6, 6.0.7. I wont lose database.
Is this correct method?
I know csmars v 4.x using license is 25 key string. And cs-mars use licence file recently. If I upgrade as above, I still can use 25 key string license?
thank you

Yes the two options you have mentioned are correct. The only difference being (as mentioned) in method 1 you will lose all the configuration while in method 2 you will be migrating the data from 4.3.6 to 6.0.1.
"I know csmars v 4.x using license is 25 key string. And cs-mars use licence file recently. If I upgrade as above, I still can use 25 key string license?"
The license format depends only on the MARS appliance you have. For all MARS Gen1 appliances, the license is a 25 character string while for Gen2 appliances, it is a license file. So basically, the license format following the upgrade of your MARS will still be the 25 character string.
All the best!!
Thanks,

After MAR upgrade from 4.0 - 7.0 login to ars_db fails

Hi,
After MAR upgrade from 4.0 -> 7.0 login to ars_db fails with the message "inconsistent database structure". For me it is a bit weired to do the ars_db upgrade to 7.0 SP4 and then start the transport agent which is still in the 4.0 level but this is the way it is described in the upgrade guide in order to delete Blobs after MAR upgrade.
Is the guide here inconsistent? Don't we have to upgrade the tools and services first before deleting Blobs?
Did anyone experience similar issues?
Regards
Whity

Hello Whity
After upgrading the MAR,To upgrade the MRS Tools and Services follow the steps below:
1. Stop and uninstall the 4.0 Transport Agent Service. Use the Transport Installer to
uninstall the above services.
2. If you are not able to uninstall the TA, uninstall the service manually using the following command sc delete [service name]
.Also check that there are no entry for that service at the registry location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
3. On your local copy of the Upgrade DVD open the folder Mobile_Client_Upgrade\UpgradePurposeOnly . If you upgrade from CRM 4.0 you have to run SETUP.exe. If you upgrade from a higher release you have to run UPGRADE.exe
4. Install the Transport Service again after MRS tools and services are upgraded to 7.0 SP 04.
In your case, TA was not uninstalled pripr to the MRS tools and servcies upgrade.Hence you still see 4.0 TA. Please follow the above steps to solve the issue.
Please refer to the section 5.2.7 section of the upgrade guide document for more information.

Upgrade from Luna To Mars - project components are missing

I upgraded from Luna to Mars. Before upgrading, I exported by projects, upgraded and imported them. Now, in the Navigator, I only see a handful of items, outline view is empty, and so is the palette.
I'm new to Startdust and am experimenting, so I may have done something incorrectly. Does anyone know how to get the Model object back?

Those paths you see are the location of the templates on the machine Adobe used to compile them.
Try deleteing all templates in your cfclasses folder and then restarting CF.

MARS upgrade error : 6.0.7 to 6.0.8

Hello,
I have minor problem upgrading cs mars applience:
I've already tried several times to download this package directly from cisco.com, but unfortunately that did not helped me.
Maybe someone knows the solution for this problem?

You can download the upgrade package to a local system and attempt to upgrade manually.
The upgrade package can be downloaded here:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cs-mars
You can then run the upgrade from the CLI using the pnupgrade command as outlined here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cs-mars/6.1/command/reference/cref1.html#wp1139301
Or configure the GUI to access the file you downloaded.

MARS upgrade path

hi guys,
i need your advice on how to go about upgrading the following MARS boxes below to the latest 4.2.8 version.
do I need to do this upgrade:
product version: 4.2.6 (2458) -> 4.2.7 -> 4.2.8
product version: 4.2.4 (2428) -> 4.2.5 -> 4.2.6 -> 4.2.7 -> 4.2.8
product version: 4.2.1 (2249) -> 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3 -> 4.2.4 -> 4.2.5 -> 4.26 -> 4.2.7 -> 4.2.8 (i understand to upgrade a 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3 will take about 1.6Gb)
Do I have to do this? Is there any other way to straight away upgrade those version to 4.2.8?
Lastly, I am planning to update the boxes remotely since I'm not geographically within reach of MARS boxes. I'm planning configure a internal upgrade server of this setting.
Would you suggest this type of setup? Is this really effective? Or do I need an on-site engineer to do the updates?
Please advise...

Yes, and no there is no way to go directly to 4.2.8 without starting pretty much from scratch.
you can do the updates remotely (using the CLI) and then pray that nothing bad happens. Having gone through many upgrades myself, I would recommend having someone at least marginally competent available locally.

Email syncs now say "Updated Mar 30", the day I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0. The notification should read the date and time you updated email receiving. Does anyone elsehave this problem?

CS-MARS-100 recent upgrade problem

Hi all!
I have experienced problem with CS-MARS-100 appliance most recent upgrades. I've successfully upgraded it from 6.0.3 to 6.0.4 using csmars-6.0.4.3229.zip package. But when I've tried to use csmars-6.0.5.3358.zip package, I've recived an error message: "Failed to pass version dependence test". I've tried to do it from web-interface and from console, from FTP-server and from DVD-ROM, but was completely unsuccessful. By the way - when I used console, error message was slightly different, there was an additional information: csmars-6.0.5.3358.zip needs an 6.0.4.322.33 to successful upgrade, but csmars-6.0.4.3229.zip is only 6.0.4.322.32.
I can not find another versions of packages on http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cs-mars, so I can not upgrade my appliance to most recent version.
Please, explain me what does this mean and what can I do?

You can also install the 6.0.3 patch file (csmars-6.0.3.3190-customer-patch.zip) before installing the 6.0.4.
Even though patch file specifies that, "This upgrade is not in the required upgrade path" for 6.0.3 patch file. This looks like the way to go.

Mars box MARS box v4.3.5 (2838) IPS Signature Version 330 upgrade

Hi, I have the software MARS box v4.3.5 (2838) IPS Signature Version 330
Is there any upgrade available for it?
Where can I found info for upgarding the software and IPS Signature on Cisco Web Site?
I also want to integrate CiscoWorks, LMS 2.6 to sent SNMP Trap Notification to the MARS box v4.3.5 (2838) IPS Signature Version 330. Is it possible and what would be the port # on the MARS box?

You are already running the latest software for the Generation 1 MARS appliances. You can find newer updates here:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cs-mars
For IPS, it is better to turn on automatic updates. Just go to:
Admin >> System Setup >> IPS Signature Dynamic Update Settings
The URL is already set there, just put your CCO username/password and click 'Update Now' then hit 'Submit'. I think the current Signature release is 352. You can manually downlaod them from here if you like:
