TIE 2.x
To upgrade TA for the Trellix Linux Operating System (TLOS) using ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO):
- Check in TA for the TLOS package:
- Download TA for the TLOS package.
- Check the package into the Master Repository in ePO.
- Upgrade TA using a product deployment task:
- Log on to the ePO console.
- Click Menu, System, System Tree.
- Click the Assigned Client Tasks tab, click the Actions drop-down list, and then select New Client Task Assignment. The Client Task Assignment Builder wizard opens to the Description page.
- Click Create New Task next to Task Actions.
- Name the task, and then select Product Deployment from the drop-down list.
- Select whether to send the task to all computers or tagged computers only, and then click Next. The Configuration page appears.
- Select the target platform Trellix Linux OS.
- Specify the version of TA to deploy. Use the drop-down lists in the Products and Components area.
Example: Trellix Agent for Trellix Linux OS <Version_number.build_number>.
- Click Next. You see the Schedule page.
- Schedule the task as needed, and then click Next.
- Verify the task details, and then click Save. The new deployment task is sent to the client computers at the next agent-server communication. Every time the task runs, it checks to determine whether to install the specified TA.
- When the upgrade finishes, perform the following steps for each TIE Server to confirm that TA is upgraded successfully:
- Log on to the TIE Server.
- Confirm that TA is upgraded to the latest version:
rpm -qa | grep MFEcma
The command returns MFEcma-5.x.x

NOTE: The TIE Server and Active Response Server use an embedded DXL Client. No additional DXL Client is needed.
rm -f /var/McAfee/agent/data/contrib/*
- Restart the TA service. Run the following command as root:
service ma restart

NOTE: It might take a few minutes for the TIE Server properties to be sent to the ePO server.
