solus 3 newbie

[projector1]

i accidently upgraded the sims server using solus 2.24 (which is what i have always used) to the sims autumn 2 upgrade.

i should have used solus 3 to do this.

In the solus 3 deployment tool i can see the downloads sims autumn 2 and the sims database 2014 autumn 2. the status is available. Would deploying the two downloads using solus 3 just overwrite/skip the already installed autumn 2 upgrades on the server?

server is 2012 and running sql 2012.

It should do a version check and see if it needs to do the upgrade, else skip them. The updates should be identical though.

thanks, i have downloaded the 2 upgrades and got to the targets tab. i assume i need to deploy the update to the sims server first for it to update the server components first. The sims server appears in three different entries, sims database, sims file server and sims sql server. do i select all three and click on deploy now?

Err if it's setup normally you shouldn't need to manually pick items. Unless I'm being silly on a sunday.

 

The targets should be setup that the SIMs server is as you said 3 items. Then the updates will go out to the correct groups automatically whether it's an upgrade on SIMs/SQL/Database etc. Are all the target groups setup?

i have just hold of the deployment instructions from here http://www.capitaess.co.uk/home/Deploying_aSIMS,FMSandDiscoverUpgrade_usingSOLUS3.7or3.8.pdf

i did it manually to start with so that if it goes pair shaped i have not affected to many clients. it appears to working now. i have v7.161 on the sims server.

thank you for your help on a rainy sunday Steve!

Good to hear Just as a side note, there's the full proper Solus 3 documentation and admin guide in the download zip it's about 200 pages total if you did want to read any more into it

 

No problem, distraction from what I'm supposed to be doing! Back to fixing Veeam haha
