Upgrading rvrd to a New Release

This appendix presents general guidelines and recommendations for the tasks associated with upgrading routing daemons to a new Rendezvous release. Many of these guidelines also apply when reconfiguring a routing daemon (without upgrading to a new product version).

Note 

Every enterprise is unique in the way it deploys routing Rendezvous daemons. Local factors such as network hardware, scripts and automated process restart can require modifications and adaptations to the instructions in this appendix. Before starting to upgrade, review your enterprise architecture and document your upgrade plan.
