Updating Again...and bored.

OK NPM VNQM and SAM have been updated with one HF and a patch. 

Oh yeah, I also updated other stuff on a list I keep on 3 by 5 note cards.

Tomorrow I will tackle NCM, NTA, SRM, VIM and Vman.

Good night royals of Solarwinds; leaders of monitoring.

I am already dragging when starting the NCM install.  Caffeine?

last Update i did, took me a whole day (SAM, NCM,NPM and SRM).

And a week later the Orion Core Hotfix lasts 4 Hours ...

The longest part for me is the backing up of the database, but you are correct the actual update can take an hour. I multitask a lot.

I finished up NCM, NTA, SRM, VIM and Vman.  Now I will double check to see if anything got missed.

The hotfix took 4 hours o.O?

We feel your pain and sympathize. That is why this is something we're actively working to improve. 

• Improved Install/Upgrade - Faster, simplified product upgrades and installation of hot fixes, including updating multiple Orion products simultaneously.

Radioteacher​ Are you running the config wizard after EVERY module install/upgrade, or only after you have installed/upgraded X number of modules? I usually run it after the initial NPM upgrade, but once I start upgrading other modules, I just cancel that config wizard until they are all done installing/upgrading, then run the config wizard to finish it all up. I have not seen any issues doing things that way, however, I suppose every system is different.

My last upgrade to 12.1 took 9hrs.  Decided to use the Orion Installation Wizard for the additional pollers (5 total).  Only one completed successfully.  The others required a call to Solarwinds support.  NTA is what broke the installer otherwise the upgrade would have worked really well.  Run the installer and it pulls from the Primary ORION server and installs the packages.  It was a nightmare night...

The fix... GUT the POLLERS of all ORION and reinstall all ORION poller packages.

I run it after each install, just to ensure there are no errors or issues.
