NPM 12.2 Upgrade fails because NTA 4.2.2 is incompatible

harrijs

Isn't the whole point of the new AIO installer that it manages version dependencies?

I have an NPM 12.1, NTA 4.2.2, and NCM 7.6 installation that I can't upgrade because the AIO installer says NTA 4.2.2 is incompatible.

Normally I would just download the individual module standalone installers and perform this upgrade manually, but guess what?  There aren't standalone installers for NPM and NCM anymore.  There is a standalone installer for NTA 4.2.3 because the AIO installer doesn't know how to handle a remote Flow Storage Database.

If anyone can provide insight, I would appreciate it.  I don't really want to open a support ticket for just an upgrade.

I ran into the same issues. My fix wasn't the cleanest but it worked.

1. Uninstall NTA

2. Upgrade NPM/NCM (I had other modules too that were upgraded all at once with the new installer)

3. Run NTA on FSDB server to update the database.

4. Run NTA on main SolarWinds server and point it back to the existing FSDB.

I believe the FSDB for NTA is messing this up. It'll be nice when netflow moves back into the MSSQL DB down the road.
