Hello everyone , I am required to performed few tasks. I have prepared a plan of action for achieving these tasks, but before moving forward with this plan I would like to have your expert opinions and suggestions.
Part1:- ( SEPM and endpoints upgrade from 12.1.5 to 12.1.6 MP4)
- Once we decide to upgrade 12.1.5 clients running all the protection components after upgrade either via the AutoUpgrade from the SEPM server or manually running the exported package after SEPM has been upgraded would there be a restart required as part of the upgrade from 12.1.5 or no restart is required?
- On servers having the AV component installed only once we perform the upgrade would there be any restart required to complete the upgrade?
Part 2:- ( Disaster Recovery)
Currently we have two SEPM servers running with an SQ backend . This DB currently resides on one of the SEPM servers.Now we intend to move the DB to one of the production SQL servers from SEPM server.
What is the correct approach of doing this , to perform the DR in the following way.
1. Take the Backup of the DB. Prepare an instance on the production SQL server and attach this database taken as a backup there.
2. Once the DB is attached successfully to an instance on the production SQL server , run the Management Server Configuration Wizard on each of the production SEPM servers and use the recovery file and during the Database connection setup specify the details for the production SQL server and database so that it can be connected.
3. By using the above steps can we achieve the required task without impacting anything ?
Your kind responses would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if you have any further questions or clarificaitons.
Thanks and Regards
