To upgrade a Scalable Platform from R81.20 to R82

[jack_723]

Hello,
I have two CP9100 appliances, which are Scalable Platforms for Maestro, and both of them are running R81.20.

Last time I asked about How to Install Deployment Agent on R81.20 Scalable Platform. Although I was told that the Security Group does not support installation, I came across the following statement in sk92449:

What confuses me is that, since a Security Group cannot have the Deployment Agent installed, why does this document state that I must install DA 2550 or higher in order to upgrade from R81.20 to R82?

Thank you.

In general this is correct per the limitation documented as MBS-2372 except where it is a stated requirement / prerequisite for a specific DA build to be install to facilitate the relevant upgrade.

Each SP version have DA supported version. keep in mind DA version for source version is year A and target is released years latter, therefor DA doesn't support upgrade package, that's why you have to upgrade DA as per each SP target. 

Starting R82 we have unified versioning. so, you can upgrade DA starting R82.
