Upgrade in a Cluster Environment

Upgrading Reflection for Secure IT server to run in a Microsoft Cluster Server environment is a multi-step process.

To upgrade Reflection for Secure IT on nodes in a cluster

  1. Upgrade the server on each passive node in your cluster environment.
  2. Allow each passive node to reboot to complete the upgrade process.
  3. Upgrade the server on the active node in your cluster environment.
  4. Allow the active node to reboot to complete the upgrade process. The Microsoft cluster service will detect that this node is rebooting and move the shared Reflection resources to one of the passive nodes.

Note: If you are upgrading from version 7.x, do not upgrade the active node by transferring the Reflection group to one of the upgraded nodes then upgrading the formerly active node. With that approach, registry information required for version 8.x is lost and the server will fail to start.
