Migration ATD update to version 4.8

[bretzeli]

Hello,

We don't like to hear sich things. Have over 10 customers in FInance which run ATD servers.

How can we make sure this does not happen if engineer update to latest version? We did hear there are some errors or detection flaws with the existing version and customers should upgrade to latest release.

Will the issue the one customer had be fixed?

SNMP disabled, update reattempted...left overnight. Same.

Reboot and support bundle number 2 uploaded to ticket. Hopefully support will get to the root of the issue.

I am assuming we are just unlucky and others not having this problem or are others waiting to update? 🙂

Sorry to hear that.  I'm going to have the technician escalate the SR to our Engineering team for further debugging so we can get to the bottom of what's happening.

So far, you are the only report I've seen of this behavior, but regardless we are going to get to the bottom of this and get you upgraded successfully.

We are WAITING with the Update because of the FORUM post…..

Yes, the issue will be fixed once we determine why it is failing.  Since this is an emerging issue, I can't say for sure if your customers would be affected by it.  Once we know more, we will provide guidance.

I've another question about upgrade to 4.8.

In the installation documentation refers to the BIOS update. Does the BIOS update require devices before upgrading to version 4.8?

@requ McAfee support would always recommend applying the latest firmware versions to your hardware.  These are provided by the hardware vendor to enhance hardware stability.  Likewise, we would always recommend being on the latest version of ATD software

There is not a prerequisite to perform this action prior to upgrading to ATD 4.8.  You can upgrade the BIOS and remain on 4.6.

Just a quick update, this issue is under ongoing investigation by Engineering.  If you encounter it, please open a support ticket so they can get it escalated.

It is now thought that my issue is related to a previous upgrade to 4.6 using syatem.msu instead of migration.msu. This has left a number of RPM dependencies  not updated as required by 4.8 causing the install to fail.

Hopefully I and other customers with this issue will be able to receive some sort of delta update to upgrade the required components prior to migrating to 4.8
