Has anyone upgraded to NPM 12 With FoE

We ran into some issues during the upgrade. Support told us that FoE is not certified yet. Was wondering if anyone managed to finish the install.

what issues did you hit?

Thanks

We had an issue where upon trying to upgrade the primary instance after upgrading the back up had trouble when configuring the database. It could not find certain references. Solar Winds support has since told me that upgrading with FoE is not certified...

Just wondering what method you were using? Were you upgrading one server entirely, cloning, then pushing the clone to the other server? If you want to upgrade without the cloning method, you need to upgrade one product per version on secondary then primary, in tandem keeping both servers equal in installed product versions. If you upgrade one server fully, then try and step through upgrading the second, it will throw DB errors during Configuration Wizard. Just checking in case I can possibly help out.

My upgrade is scheduled for the 5 July -- will see if it works or not...
