This document explains how to perform a major upgrade for an existing remote agent using the Podman image. The procedure assumes you're viewing the Major Upgrade dialog in the Google Security Operations SOAR platform.

On the Major Upgrade dialog, copy the provided Podman run command:
```
PODMAN_COMMAND
```
List the current running Podman containers:
```
podmanps
```
Enter your agent's container ID:
```
CONTAINER_ID
```
Enter your agent's container name:
```
AGENT_NAME
```
.
Pull the latest Podman image to your machine using the following command. You can replace the :latest tag with a specific version, such as 1.4.8.3.
```
podmanpullus-podman.pkg.dev/siem-ar-public/images/agent:latest
```

Copy the original environment variables (.bash_profile) to a local temporary file.

podmanexecCONTAINER_IDcat/home/siemplify_agent/.bash_profile>temp_bash_profile.txt

Stop the agent's Podman container.
```
podmanstopCONTAINER_ID
```
Rename the container for backup.
```
podmanrenameAGENT_NAMEAGENT_NAME_backup
```
Run the new agent image. If you changed the latest tag, make sure the image tag matches the one pulled in.
```
PODMAN
```
List the running Podman containers.
```
podmabnps
```
Enter your agent's new container ID:
```

```

Copy the environment variables .bash_profile from the temporary file to the new container.
