Upgrade steps
Plan the upgrade
Before preparing a system upgrade, it is highly recommended to:
- Review the Release Notes for the software version you want to upgrade to.
- Test the upgrade process and the new software on a testing environment.
- Schedule the upgrade after making sure that all implications of the upgrade are fully understood.
| Note |
|---|
We highly recommend this testing phase prior to upgrade mission critical production environments. |
Perform the upgrade
| Note |
|---|
During a software upgrade process, your DNS server will be stopped. Consequently, it is recommended that you perform such upgrades only if redundancy is guaranteed. |
To upgrade the system, you must execute the 4PSA DNS Manager Installer, as described in the installation process.
The upgrade might take several minutes, especially on systems with large databases. DO NOT interrupt the 4PSA DNS Manager Installer by pressing CTRL-C or rebooting the system, as your upgrade might become inconsistent!
