Order of Installation for upgrade in a distributed Server Environment

asked on June 13, 2019 • Show version history

I am planning my upgrade of RIO 10.3.1 to 10.4.1 and need to confirm the order of installation as I will be rolling the upgrade over several weeks from my development server farm to the production server farm. I am thinking I would need to upgrade the Directory Server first (this is shared by both the Dev and Prod environments) and then upgrade the LFS Server, Clients, Forms, Workflow, etc. Is there documentation to support upgrading a distributed environment (separate Dev and Production servers for each major component)?

Additionally, will I need to upgrade all Directory Server Web STS instances to 10.4 at the same time I upgrade the directory server?

The 10.3.1 STS will work with a newer LFDS. You only need to update the master license on LFDS, then the rest of the servers are fairly indenpendent. You can upgrade LFDS before or after the rest of the software as long as your master license has been renewed to version 10.4.

You need to update the Laserfiche Server before the clients. Forms and Workflow are backwards compatible with each other and the Laserfiche Server, so the other shouldn't matter much there.

Miruna,

If we have a customer that's on Laserfiche server 9.0, and License Manager 8.3, and we want to set up a separate 10.4.1 server as a test/partial migration, would this work?

Upgrade License Manager to LFDS 10.4.2, but keep production Laserfiche products unchanged.

Then Install and configure 10.4.1 products on new/test server, while leaving their production environment in 9.0, so the customer would have their production environment continue without disruption in Server 9.0 while we do testing and gradually migrate different processes to the 10.4.1 server.
