Single Rolling Upgrades
The single rolling upgrade procedures do not require any matrix
downtime. Each server is removed from the matrix, upgraded, and then
returned to the matrix. If the Management Console is installed on client
machines, you will also need to upgrade that software. Rolling upgrades
to Matrix Server 3.5.1 are supported only from Matrix Server 3.1.2 and
3.5.0.
Rolling Upgrade Considerations
You should be aware of the following when upgrading to the Matrix
Server 3.5.1 release.
Order for Upgrading Servers
Servers must be upgraded one-at-a-time during the upgrade. The server
with the numerically highest primary IP address must be upgraded
first. Then continue to upgrade the servers in descending order of IP
address, with the server with the lowest primary IP address being
upgraded last.
If you have two networks and the IP addresses are ordered differently on
each network, you will need to determine the IP addresses by which the
servers are known to the matrix and then use those addresses to
determine the order for the upgrade.
