Anyone upgrade from 11.32 to 11.40?

Just did one and no issues.

Patch cv and ma's with latest Maintenance.32 release and take a few dr backups.

Make sure AV scanning is disabled as this can give you issues while upgrading.

That’s great to hear. Appreciate the input. Was there any particular reason to go to the latest maint release first or just best practice recommendation?

We are planning the upgrade from FR36 to FR40 on our production environment. On our BETA setup we only ran into some minor issues who have been solved and an issue related to our setup. 

11.36 comes with a sql server upgrade along side the ordinary upgrade of the commserve.

sql server 2022 is the new requirement.

I got a reccomendation from our sql dba’s to not upgrade the sql server ( we ran on 2016)  and instead do a clean install on the new version. 

So when we upgraded from 11.32 to 11.36, we did a clean install of 11.36 (where sql 2022 also get a clean install)  and ran a dr recovery based on a dr backupset from 11.32.

Dear ​@atitagain,

Please can you provide the action plan you followed during the upgrade ?

Best Regards,

Ahmed

Just to close this thread off, we did the jump to 11.40.34. The upgrade completed ok. I would recommend not failing over if running a standby livesync setup. We had issues doing that and rolled out and had to start over just upgrading each side manually without failover. Post upgrade, we have had some issues crop up (communication pipe/tunnel failures for no apparent reason, issues with the software cache, odd version information upon upgrading client agents (some show 11.40.34 others show 11.40.6 especially on Linux servers using the same media kit). So yes the upgrade was successful but seems it still has kinks to work out 😔
