Rob, Having 8.1 and 9.1 together is the process that we follow. In our environment we have fault tolerant SpectroSERVERs and multiple OneClick servers. There are multiple groups of these all in the same distributed environment. Our process is to take each group individually then:
Ask the users to log into the OneClick server running report manager (just an alternate OC server). Upgrade a non-report manager OneClick server Upgrade all the primary SpectroSERVERs in the group. Ask the users if they like what they see. If they say ok then Upgrade all the secondary SpectroSERVERs in the group Upgrade the report manager OneClick server (can take a long time so we do it last). That way we can have the 8.1 environment running while we are doing the 9.1 so we don¹t loose any visibility on alarms. One other thing is that we take the first SpectroSERVER that we upgrade and make it the Main Location Server (MLS) for the 9.1 environment. Then as we upgrade SpectroSERVERs we repoint them to the 9.1 MLS and remove them from the 8.1 MLS. That way we don¹t share landscape maps between 8.1 and 9.1.

It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world we dreamed, but your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why The Matrix was redesigned to this...the peak of your civilization." / Agent Smith {The Matrix} * --To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected] --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
