  • 1.  Manually Upgrade Agents without Rebooting

    Posted Jun 16, 2016 11:33 AM

    Hi guys, I have 500 servers running 12.5 SP1 CU1 agents and need to upgrade them to 12.9. I do not want any reboots of the servers. Anyone have a good script/methodology for this?

    Using ‘reboot=reallysuppress’ on all MSI installations, or passed on the ‘deploywrapper’ command line will prevent reboots.

    But that would leave the agents in an inconsistent state as they would be pending a reboot. Since they install without needed a reboot they generally aren't touching any system files and hence should be able to upgrade them without any reboot requirement I would imagine? I think I have asked the same question on this thread:

    So I'll follow up there
