Upgrading SPP

steven chua 2 months ago

I'm new in managing SPP

We trying to patch the SPP from 7.0.3 to 7.0.4 by following article.

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 7.0 LTS - Administration Guide

Summary of the upgrade process.

1. Backup - The backup here, can we perform a snapshot from the VM host or we need to perform the back from the SPP level.

2. Patch the Primary SPP

3. Will the Primary SPP will replicate the patched SPP to its cluster?

Hi Steven,

Yes, In a SPP Cluster uploading the Patch and installing from the Primary will also upgrade the Replicas

Thanks!

Thank for the clarification,

How about the backup before the upgrade? Can we perform backup or snapshot on VM host level for the virtual SPP or we only can perform backup from the SPP system level?

You should only create a Backup from SPP System level. Snapshots are not recommended or supported.

Dear @Tawfiq.Ahmand,
Below is the summarize steps that we need to perform from our end to upgrade our SPP & SPP from 7.0.3 to 7.0.4
1. Backup primary SPP & SPS and export the backup files. Do we need to back up the replica? Due to compatibility issue, we will need to upgrade both SPP & SPS.
2. Download the patches for 7.0.4 patches for SPP & 7.0.4 iso for SPS
3. Upgrade the primary for SPP & SPS. Verify if it replicated to the replica.
4. Do we need to reupload the license file if we upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.0.4?
