One of this lists members, Sabyson Fernandes, recently had a problem with 8.1 behind a server group not releasing floating licenses or something to that effect which resulted in that all familiar error "connected from another machine". I do not recall his complete environment, but I do recall him mention the F5 load balancer to be a part of the equation.
BMC has a hot fix for it. If that could be a potential problem for you, you may want to investigate and make necessary arrangements to get that fix from BMC pre-upgrade. Hope this helps and is within the context of your forthcoming tasks.

One being AR Server, CMDB, AIE, and Midtier. Then the next weekend being the remaining of the list above). BMC has given us the indication that this will cause no problems. We have a server group with one primary AR server and three secondary servers. We did discover that you are unable to install the secondaries at the same time because of an install user that is created in the database then removed during the ARserver and CMDB installs). Has anyone attempted this? If so, what has your result been? Any tips or suggestions? Thank you. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
