How to upgrade
-
Use the SolarWinds Installer to simultaneously upgrade one or more Orion Platform products on your main Orion server.
-
If your scalability engines (additional polling engines, additional web servers, and high availability servers) are able to communicate with the main server, use the centralized upgrade feature to upgrade the rest of your Orion deployment in parallel.
For details, see Install or upgrade Orion Platform products.
You can upgrade your entire Orion deployment, including the main server and all Orion Platform products, from the My Deployment page. Downloading the SolarWinds Installer for future upgrades is no longer necessary.
