I'm running the NTA 4.1.1 update and it stops to tell me I need to "Upgrade the NTA Flow Store Database"
Can someone tell me how I do this?
Thanks.
Sure, your NTA flow store database is probably on a different server. Log into that server and apply the update first, then go back to the main orion server and apply the update there.
I checked the database information and see that it's on the same server.
Any thoughts on why I'm still getting that error?
So when you check Under NTA Settings, Database Settings, you see the location of the database is Local and not remote?
What version are you currently running? 4.1.0 or 4.1.0 with a Hotfix? Have you tried applying any Hotfixes before applying 4.1.1 to see if they give you the same error message?
I just found this in the release notes:
Updated 06/15/2015
These release notes provide additional guidance for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) v4.1.1.
Note: NTA 4.1.1 requires SolarWinds NPM 11.5 or newer. Make sure you upgrade NPM before you start upgrading to NTA 4.1.1.

Well, unless you have a very small environment, I wouldn't recommend running it on the same server. Definitely not a good idea.
There is a possibility that they didn't think anyone would do that, because of how bad an idea it is, and didn't accommodate for that in the update script. I would open a case with tech support, they should be able to help you out.
Oh, and did I mention how bad it is to have both on the same server yet?
I have my netflow database located on a seperate server but I can not remember the path to the actuall netflow data. Where can I find what that path is?
I found it
Thank you all. I managed to get the update done.
The database is on a separate server - I just didn't know where that was.
My NTA is now up to date. I appreciate your help.
you need first to upgrade you NTA flow storage database server which i sense it is on a separate server before you can upgrade the NTA application to 4.1.1.
Just use the same installer NTA 4.1.1 for upgrading both NTA app and NTA database.
