Environment
Objective
Prevent EDR from upgrading to latest version when performing a general "yum upgrade"
Resolution
- Option 1: Disable the CarbonBlack yum repository (master and minions in case of a cluster):
- Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CarbonBlack.repo using vi or similar tool
- Change enabled=1 to enabled=0 in the file:
- Save the file
- Option 2: Instead of running "yum update", the administrator can run the same command with the CarbonBlack.repo disabled.
Additional Notes
When implementing option 1, set enabled=1 to re-enable the CarbonBlack.repo when upgrading the EDR server software or in cases where access to the Carbon Black repository is required to install a new sensor version.
