Hello,
We are going to upgrade RSA primary and replicas from 8.1 to 8.2 patch3. Primary and replicas are located in different regions, therefore we can not to do an upgrade within one maintenance window.
Will synchronization between Primary and replica work if Primary will be on 8.2 version but replica still on 8.1 ?
Will replica synchronized with primary while Primary upgrading?
Thank you.
The replication between Primary and Replica will break while upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2. You will have to upgrade it on the same window. How does the location come into play here?. as long as you have access to OC of Servers, you can upgrade it
To go from 8.1 to 8.2, you need to be at least on 8.1 sp1
8.1 sp1 will replicate with 8.1
8.1 sp1 will not replicate with 8.2
You also must have the primary and replica 8.1 sp1 replicating normally to start,
then install 8.2 on the primary. Primary will not allow 8.2 to install if replication is broken.
Then, once primary is on 8.2, replication will break, but the replica(s) will allow installation of 8.2.
Do not attempt to install 8.2 on a replica first, that will permanently break replication and
you would be reinstalling to fix it.
Thank you for your answers.
Now we have 8.1 sp1 and replication works.
So, if Primary will be upgraded and replication will break, can Replica authenticate users requests at this time?
I understand that new records on primary will not be replicated. But if users can be authenticated via replica without connection with Primary, it is enough.
We use RSA only for 2-second authentication.
To go from 8.1 to 8.2, you need to be at least on 8.1 sp1
8.1 sp1 will replicate with 8.1
8.1 sp1 will not replicate with 8.2
