Prerequisite Actions

For all Managers:

1.

Bring all Managers up to the required hotfix level.

2.

Confirm that all GridServer Managers are at that level. On the Primary Director, you can get the versions of all Brokers on the Grid Components > Brokers > Broker Admin page. To find the version of the Directors, click the About link at the top of the Administration Tool.

3.

In each Engine Configuration, confirm that Log off Engines on Daemon Logoff is set to false (the default setting). This prevents unnecessary Engine restarts when the Director is restarted.

4.

On each Broker, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Admin and set Daemon Upgrade From Broker to false; then go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Resource Deployment > Broker Settings and set Synchronize Resources From Director to false. This prevents all Daemons from restarting to upgrade when the Primary Director is upgraded.

5.

On each Director, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Admin. Confirm that Daemon Upgrade From Director is false. (This is the default and would rarely be true.)

6.

To assist in the event of any issues, set the logging levels on all Managers and Engines to Fine.
