Notes About Upgrading and Rolling Back
Upgrading and Application Server Redundancy
In order for Application Server redundancy to be fully functional, ONE of the following conditions must be
true:
• ALL the Application Servers within a Redundancy Group have iControl version 4.10 or later installed.
• ALL the Application Servers within the Redundancy Group have versions of software earlier (and not
including) iControl version 4.10 installed.
iControl Upgrade Guide
Rolling Back
Note: One implication of this is that when upgrading an Application Server to version 4.10 or
higher, you must similarly upgrade ALL Application Servers within the Redundancy Group in
order to ensure redundancy is fully functional.
Rolling Back
A rollback operation is the reversal from one version of software to a previously installed version.
Rolling back from any version of iControl above and including version 3.00 to any version below
version 3.00 is not supported. For example, a rollback from iControl version 4.00 to version 2.30 is not
supported. By contrast, a rollback from iControl version 4.03 to version 3.60 is supported.
Upgrading from iControl Version 1.xx
Previous versions (1.xx) of iControl are not compatible with release version 2.00 (and later). An upgrade
from version 1.xx involves a platform change which requires re-imaging the Application Server hard drive.
Configuration files cannot be reused. User-configured items such as iControl Navigator aliases, error log
settings and proc amps must be regenerated (we recommend you record all values before proceeding with
an upgrade). Old iControl Web sites will be converted, but the links will need to be reassigned.
