Upgrade your McAfee ePO cluster server
Upgrading your McAfee ePO software in a cluster environment requires special consideration.
Before you begin
If your current environment is not supported by version 5.1.0, you must upgrade your
environment before upgrading your McAfee ePO software.
You can't use the McAfee ePO 32-bit Upgrade Compatibility Utility when upgrading to
version 5.1.0 in a cluster server environment.
Task
1
Depending on your Windows Server, from the active node, open the ePO group in your Windows
cluster management tool.
• For Windows Server 2008 — Start Administrative Tools, then click Failover Cluster Manager.
• For Windows Server 2012 — Start Server Manager, then on the Tools menu, click Failover Cluster
Manager.
2
Take each of these Generic Service resources offline, then delete them:
• ePolicy Orchestrator Server
• ePolicy Orchestrator Application Server
• ePolicy Orchestrator Event Parser
Do not modify these resources, which are required for a successfully upgrade:
• Data drive
• McAfee ePO virtual IP address
• McAfee ePO virtual Network Name
3
Open the Services Control Manager and start each of these services:
• ePolicy Orchestrator Server
• ePolicy Orchestrator Application Server
• ePolicy Orchestrator Event Parser
Repeat this step on each node before you begin installing your new software.
4
Install your new McAfee ePO software on each node.
If you're upgrading from version 4.5.7, consider the node order in which you originally installed
version 4.5. Begin your upgrade on the same node as the original installation. For example, if you
installed McAfee ePO software version 4.5.7 on nodes A, B, and C, in that order, upgrade node A
first. The order in which you upgrade subsequent nodes does not matter.
For detailed installation steps, see Install ePolicy Orchestrator software on each node under
Perform Cluster installation.
5
After completing installation on each node, create the new Generic Service resources for version
5.1.0 of the software. Configuration for these resources depends on your operating system. For
operating system-specific configuration details, see Create the Generic Service resources under
Perform Cluster installation.
