Hi,
Is there any way to validate NPM10 in my environment ?
Is there any way to rollback from NPM10 to NPM9.5.1 if I detect any problem ?
Duing the upgrade your polling engine(s) will be updated and the tables of your SQL server will also be updated. To undo the upgrade you will need to revert all of these changes. You will need to take a backup of the SQL database, a backup of the website (web backup) and a snapshot of the server(s).
We use VMs for our Orion instalation and VM snapshots can give a near instant roll-back, but our SQL database and our website would also need restoring to complete a roll-back.
My Orion NPM 9.5.1 is in a physical machine, and I have a VM virtual machine where I can use to tests purposes.
Is there any way to copy NPM 9.5.1 to that VM machine and install NPM 10 ?
If you want the same DB you can copy over your production DB and rename the DB instance. Then on your VM load 9.5.1 and point it to the copied DB instance and then run the 10.0 upgrade so the DB gets migrated as well.
Unless you have another Orion copy for test purposes, you can use the 30 day eval versions.
