Hi everyone , I would like to have your expert opinion and suggestions about the following scenerio.
Current Envoirement comprises of Two SEPM servers running the version 12.1.5 with embedded databased configured as replication partners in primary and DR datacenters in two diffrent cities supporting about 1000 ATM machines running the client version 12.1.4 and 12.1.5.
I have to upgrade clients and SEPMs to the latest version i.e 12.1.6 MP2. I have the following queries in this regard your kind response would be appreciated.
1) Prior to SEPMs upgrade to 12.1.6 MP2 do I have to break replications or is it fine to upgrade SEPMs one at a time without breaking the replication.
2) Prior to the upgrade free space on the SEPM installation drive should be three times more than the current size of the database i.e if the current size of database is 5 GB the installation drive should have atleast 15 GB free or else installation will fail ?
3) In SEPM 12.1.6 MP2 the maximum number of content revision we can set is 180. Is this the maximum number or we can go higher . If we set content revisions to be 180 then how much disk space would the Interpub folder would consume approximetely ?
4) Since the ATM machines could only be upgraded via the Auto Upgrade feature of SEPM becuase of the slow link . What do you think would be the best practice to for the scheduling to upgrade 100 ATMs , it should be distributed to how many days and how the clients would take the upgrade package , all machines will download it at the same time or they will randomly download the upgrade once we add the upgrade package to the group ?
5) What will be the size of this delta upgrade package for 12.1.6 MP2 that the client would download from SEPM ( 12.1.5 package is availble in installation package on SEPM since it was upgraded from 12.1.5)
Thanks and Reards
