Need to upgrade Management Server and GWs in Azure from 80.30 to 80.40

[Logesh8]

Hi,

I am new to Azure Environment. I need to upgrade both SMS and GWs from 80.30 to 80.40. Kindly let me know the pre-requests and procedure to upgrade. Any suggestion will be really helpful. Thank you.

Start with the following resources:

Thank you Chris.

Why R80.40 and not R81.10, which should be a significant improvement management wise?

Yeah I would +1 this.  Upgrading to 81.10 shouldn't be any more difficult and buys an additional 18 months of support.  2024 will be here sooner than we realize.

Hi John,

No need to ask the question multiple times in the same thread.
It’s the same steps @Chris_Atkinson mentioned above.

Agree with Chris. here is what TAC sent us when we asked about this for a client:

>>In order to increase all the parameters- disk space, memory and CPU, I would recommend the procedure described in the following sk:-

>>The above Sk shows, you can pick the "size" you want and preset the CPU,HDD and memory according to the image selected.
To see what sizes are supported, you may have a look at the following SK:-

>>In order to just increase the disk space, you may follow the sk linked below,

Note:- We support in-place upgrades for azure gateways now, but not for mgmt server. So, as an alternative to the above procedure for the mgmt server specifically, you may consider, re-deploying a bigger R81.10 VM with required HDD,CPU and memory.
