Upgrading View 4.6 to 5.0

[huntrock17]

So I have two View 4.6 servers running replicas, we are upgrading to View 5.0 this weekend. Is there anything special I need to do to upgrade these? Or can I just proceed to upgrade these like I would if they weren't replicas??

Any insight is appreciated! Thanks

Welcome to the forums.   The replica servers are  treated just like any other server since technically after the initial installs they are all the same.    Since they are all part of a replica group you will need to make sure the connection broker services are stopped when doing the upgrade.   This prevents a View 5.0 server from replicating to a View 4.6 server.     Check out the upgrade guide below

Thanks a lot, shortly after I posted the question I found the steps in the upgrade document you specified. I have one more question, when disabling the View Services, should I do it on both instances of the server before I start the upgrade? Or can I stop services on one, upgrade, then proceed to the next?

Thanks again!
