To answer your question, wIth RSA Authentication Manager, you always want to update the primary first then your replicas, completing the upgrade on each one before moving to the next.

Thanks for your help Erica. Great support.
Here's a 10 minute video on what Erica summarized about patching the Primary 1st, then one replica at a time same patch or Service Pack or update until all replicas are done, then back to the Primary is you need to apply another update.

What ramifications, if any, are there to upgrading a replica first. In my case, I have the primary (rsa01), and 2 replicas, (rsa02, and rsa03). All three are on 8.4, and 01/02 are running the same patch versions. 03 was newly installed in preparation for a migration, and was upgraded to the newest patch. It has been attached to the primary and seems to not be causing any problems to the environment. If I start upgrading 01/02, am I going to run into problems?
