  • 1.  Multi Site SEPM Upgrades

    Posted Aug 13, 2013 11:42 PM

    Hello,

     

    Hoping this has an easy answer, if you configure multiple SEPM servers across geographical regions as replication partners and want to perform an upgrade, such as 12.1.2 to 12.1.3, is there any particular process you should follow?

     

    I am wondering this because we have two SEPM servers as replication partners and I want to upgrade them to 12.1.3.... is it as easy as runing the upgrade wizard on each one, one after the other? Will there being any impact to clients and the like during this process?

    Look forward to your reply.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    yes, if you start upgrading SEPM at the same time and for some unfortunate reason the upgrade does not happen the clients might go orphan considering SEPM is unavailable.

    hence it is better to upgrade SEPM one by one as mentioned in the above article .
