Manual upgrade
How to manually upgrade BigFix Platform components.
Use the manual upgrade instead of the Fixlet upgrade when you upgrade:
- A DSA multiple server environment
- A BigFix server which uses a remote database
- A BigFix environment having remote WebUI or remote Web Reports server.
Note: Before starting the upgrade in a DSA environment, ensure that all DSA Servers have
already received the new masthead from the primary BigFix Server.
Note: During the upgrade of a DSA server, ensure that no services are running on all the other
DSA servers to prevent the upgrading system from becoming unstable when a replication
process starts against it.
In order to perform a manual upgrade, see the following sections in the order in which they are listed below.
