If a server upgrade fails, this alarm clears when
the server upgrades successfully. Upgrade the server individually or as part of
a server group or site upgrade. If more than one server in the same server
group or site fails to upgrade, the server group and site upgrades may be
useful because both methods will attempt to upgrade all of the failed servers
within the server group or site, respectively. Upgrading all servers in a
server group is useful if the server group has multiple upgrade failures.
Upgrading all servers in a site is useful if servers in multiple server groups
contained in a site have upgrade failures.
To upgrade individual servers:
Navigate to the Upgrade page (Administration, and then Software Management, and then Upgrade ).
To upgrade a NOAM server, select the NOAM tab
and proceed to

Select the sub-tab associated with the server
group containing the server(s) that raised the alarm.
Select the individual server(s) and then click
the
Upgrade Server button to
start the upgrade on the selected servers.
Note:
Servers cannot be selected across tabs. If
there are servers in multiple server groups, you must restart the server
upgrade for each additional Server Group tab, or perform a server group or site
upgrade.

An alternative method to upgrade a server group that
is not a NOAM server group is to upgrade selected server groups from the Entire
Site sub-tab. The site upgrade form does not offer as many options as the
automated server group upgrade.
To upgrade all servers in a server group using the
alternative method:
Navigate to the Upgrade page (Administration, and then Software Management, and then Upgrade).

site contains more than one server group.

the
Upgrade Server Group button
to start the upgrade on the selected server group(s).
To upgrade entire sites:
Navigate to the Upgrade page (Administration, and then Software Management, and then Upgrade).
Select the SOAM site tab associated with the
server(s) that raised the alarm. Remain on the Entire Site sub-tab.

site contains more than one server group.

server groups in the site. (Do not select any server groups.)
