Upgrade Smart Event Server from 80.40 to 81.10

Bernardes — Sat, 26 Nov 2022 19:43:31 GMT

Hi Mates!

I have a distributed environment with an SMS, 2 Gateways (cluster HA), and a Smart Event Server dedicated.

I will firstly upgrade the SMS via migrate (install a brand new VM and export/import migrate file), and after that, on another day, upgrade the gateways via CPUSE. This is how we´re doing when the environment is distributed, but in this case, we have a smart event dedicated.

I would like to know what the plan recommended for upgrade smart event server?

any advice?

Thank you

I had done this few times. My rule...ALWAYS is this, in sequence

1) upgrade mgmt server

2) upgrade smart event

3) upgrade gateways

For more detail see the upgrade & install guide linked below.

Important - If this Security Management Server manages dedicated Log Servers or SmartEvent Servers, you must upgrade these dedicated servers to the same version as the Security Management Server.

Hello @the_rock , thank you for the advice!

Do you recommend which method for the Smart Event Server upgrade, could it be CPUSE?
