  • 1.  upgrading r11.3 cybAgents to r11.4 sp1 nuances?

    Posted Mar 21, 2019 10:00 AM

    Hello Forum,  we have a number of wintel, linux, and solaris r11.3 cybAgents in use, anything from sp1 to sp7.

    We see r11.4 sp1 is available and wondering if anyone out there has made upgrades from r11.3 to r11.4 and can relay if there are any big differences in the install process between 11.3 and 11.4 ?

    Any gotchas to be aware of when going to r11.4 sp1 that were not issues with r11.3?

    thanks,

    We are in the upgrade process of 11.3.6 SP4/SP7 to 11.4 SP1.  The installs were fairly similiar.  There was just a few tweaks to the silent config.  

     

    The major difference is 11.4 now has a true upgrade process.  There was other forms of patching before, but not a real upgrade.  It works great for Unix.  My problem is windows since you have to kill all jobs and agent processes to upgrade.

     

    Other major difference is no 32 bit support.  The upgrade process will convert an agent from 32 bit to 64 bit if you have your upgrade set to allow that.
