Endpoint Protection

Which package should I use if I want to upgrade my sepm from 11.0.5 to 11.0.6 and my clients?

Hi johnnyh,

Migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6300 (RU6 MP3)

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH155655

You need to select SEP RU6a .  11.0.6005.562 .

11.0 Release Update 6a  The version number for that build is: 11.0.6005.562

If you want to instll RU6MP3 then first you need to install RU6a then only you should install RU6Mp3(11.0.6300 )

Hi,

Check the articles.

Migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 RU6

Migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 RU6 MP3

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH155655

Your upgrade path would be 

11.0.5 --> 11.0.6/11.0.6a --> 11.0.6  MP3

Any other upgrade path is not recommended nor supported.

It is not recommend to upgrade directly from RU5  to RU6MP3

This migration path is not supported.
RU6MP3 is a Maintenance patch and not a maintenance release, A MP can only be installed on the main build. You can install RU6 over RTM or MR3 or MR4MP2 but not RU6MP3. For that you need to have RU6/RU6a

 It is not recommend to upgrade directly from RU5 or MR4  to RU6MP3

This migration path is not supported.

Possible effects after a direct upgrade to RU6MP3  from a lower version [except RU6]:
 

Schema Corruption.
Possible dll corruption.
Policies Corruption.
Network breakdown.
Challenges with uninstalling SEP.

So what you need Upgrade the clients to RU6 and then upgrade to RU6MP3.

Thanks.

I suppose it's this version I should download and use, Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_11.0.6A_Xplat_EN_DVD

Right .Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_11.0.6A_Xplat_EN_DVD is SEP RU6a 11.0.6005

Yes it is 11.0.6A I have downloaded. Isn't it ok to install that one?

Yes, RU5 can be upgraded to Ru6 or RU6a.It is supported path of upgradation

Yes , there is no issue in installing RU6A, it is totally safe and also a supported upgrade path
