What is the exact upgrading path from AM 8.2.1 to AM 8.3

[JUNXIAZHANG]

Hi RSA Team,

Thank you for the previous reply. I need further clarification for this.

1. Our RSA AM version is 8.2.1 and do we need to install RSA AM 8.2 SP1 before upgrading to 8.3. I would like to know the exact upgrading path to RSA AM 8.3 patch 5 from RSA AM 8.2.1.

2. Our deployment include 1 primary appliances and 2 replicas. Can I upgrade primary to version 8.3 first and upgrade the replicas one by one?

3. Our deployment include some agents and we already deploy the Authentication Manager configuration file sdconf.rec to those agents. My question is do we need to recreate AM_Config.zip using RSA AM 8.3 and redeploy Authentication Manager configuration file on those agents after upgrading?.

4. Will there be any service disruption during the upgrading process?

Regards,

Junxia

Hi Junxia, 

If you are running 8.2 SP1 (8.2.1.0.0) you can go ahead and install 8.3 (8.3.0.0.0). To confirm the current version you are running in the deployment: 

1. In the Security Console, click Help > About RSA Security Console.
2. In the Version section, click See Software Version Information.

Yes, the primary must be upgraded to 8.3 followed by each replica one at a time. 

No, the configuration file does not need to be recreated. 

There should be no impact as you have a replica instance that should handle user authentications. 

Regards

Ivan
