Hello Community!
Hi. Fairly new Solarwinds customer here. After a couple of months of testing in development, we now have a full production environment setup, and teams are slowing adding all components for monitoring.
I've noticed that almost a couple of weeks ago, newer updates were released for the new PerfStack. It looks great! I am entitled for these updates and would like to go about a full upgrade. I'm just looking for some insight, and step-by-step etc. as to go about it. It tooks quite awhile to get our production environment setup - we did run into several issues that support has helped me fix, and it's all up and running, so where I'm a fairly new customer, I'm a little reluctant to perform a huge upgrade without first getting some insight, for you all, and your experiences etc.
Here is my current setup, along with versions:
Main Orion Server: (1)
Orion Platform | |
Version | 2016.2.100 |
Network Configuration Manager | |
Version | 7.5.1 |
Server & Application Monitor | |
Version | 6.3.0 |
Network Performance Monitor | |
Version | 12.0.1 |
Virtual Infrastructure Monitor | |
Version | 7.0.0 |
Storage Resource Monitor | |
Version | 6.3.0 |
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer | |
Version | 4.2.1 |
NetPath | |
Version | 1.0.1 |
Additional Poller:(1)
Orion Platform | |
Version | 2016.2.100 |
Additional Web Server: (1)
(Same as Main Orion Server)
Database Details:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2-CU3) Standard Edition.
So as of prior to the updates released on March 17th, we currently had the latest versions of the modules.
I have read the "Upgrade Multiple SolarWinds Products" guide, and also ran through the SolarWinds Product Upgrade Advisor (which stated no problems, and provided a step-by-step of which modules to upgrade first).
Has anyone upgraded from the the module versions I have, to the newest/latest? Any issues?
Also, if you guys/gals were performing these upgrades, what would be your course of action?
Thanks,
Jason
