Upgraded the main poller, questions about upgrading poller02

jdoug

I upgraded my primary orion01 yesterday thinking would not be upgrading the second poller orion02.

Surprise!

They now want the second poller upgraded.  Lucky for me during the upgrade of Orion01, I downloaded the package to update the poller that the config wizard gave me.

From what i can tell I just need to run this executable and it will do it's magic, yes?

Question is, when it comes to the SQL and Netflow database portion of the config wizard, the install wizard will see the database as already upgraded to 2020.2 and won't try to upgrade the sql db a second time, correct? 

Also, so some reason SW licensing thinks that my primary orion01 has the 2nd poller installed on it? Have a ticket open with support to correct this. Unless there is a way to correct in the portal I am not  aware of.

Thanks

1. All scalability engines must match the version of the Main Poller. 

2. You can either run the installer on the APE or depending upon what version you were running prior to the upgrade to 20202.2, you can use the web based Centralized Upgrade. A detailed walkthrough of Centralized Upgrades can be found here > https://thwack.solarwinds.com/resources/b/product-blog/posts/orion-platform-2018-4-centralized-upgrades-walkthrough

3. The installation/upgrade of a scalability engine does not run the same database schema upgrade process that is run when upgrading the Main Poller. This can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to upgrade an APE or AWS compared to the main poller. 

4. You can move your licenses around in the web based license manager by using the 'Assign' button as outlined in this KB article. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-centralized-licensing-assign-license.htm
