Security management server (HA) upgrade R80 to R80.30

Solanin — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 13:11:06 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking for a doc with the best practice for upgrading security management server ( R80 to R80.30).
One is the primary server, the other one is the secondary.

My biggest concerns:

- Is there any prerequisite before upgrading aside doing a back up.
- Which server upgrading first , primary or secondary
- Is there anything to after both primary and secondary are upgraded ?

Kind regards

Your best bet is to read the upgrade guide for R80.30 which answers all these questions.

Solanin,

from real world experience don't upgrade your secondary server.

Did an upgrade of your primary and if everything will be fine do an fresh install of the secondary with Jumbo and resynchronize with the primary.
