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.
