  • Delgee, To clarify a detail with respect to the release of NPM 10.1, you will need to upgrade from NPM 9.1 -> NPM 9.5.1 -> NPM 10.1. Note: Orion installations that include EOC require a hotfix to upgrade to Orion NPM 10.1. The hotfix is found in your Customer Portal.

  • kurochan, Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the 10.2 db with your 10.1 reinstallation. You should be able to go straight to installing 10.1: simply select your 10.0 db when completing the Configuration Wizard the first time. HTH,

  • Mike, Provided that all your primary and additional polling engines are updated to the same version of NPM, the Failover Engine (FoE) upgrade will follow. FoE takes care of the duplication from primary to secondary servers, so you need only ensure that your primary NPM servers are upgraded. HTH, Andrew

  • Short answer: It shouldn't really matter. Longer answer: Though you should expect a clean upgrade to 10.0 from any 9.X version, you are safest upgrading 9.X -> 9.5.1 -> 10.0 -> 10.1.2, like the majority of SW customers. This is a well-worn upgrade path. NPM 9.5.1 provided a large number of important fixes to previous 9.X…
