SEC 5.2 to 5.5 upgrade to new server

Andrew Lash

Hello,

We have a client who wishes to upgrade from SEC 5.2 to 5.5.

They have a remote SQL database server but want to move SEC from Server 2012 to Server 2016.

The server to server migration document only talks about migrating where database is local.

What is the process to move to SEC on Server 2016 where a remote SQL database is used? I am assuming we need to upgrade SEC components to 5.5 prior to migrating to another server.

Thanks.

Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    It is better to upgrade to 5.5.0.

    Assuming that you will have the backup of the database, delete all the Sophos Databases on the remote SQL and follow the migration guide. As per step 8, you will be restoring the Database which should get things working again. Let me know if this helps resolve the issue.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    My concern is that the migration guide has this assumption "All components of Enterprise Console (Management Console, Management Server, and
    Database) are installed on a single server, the old server, and are operational."

     

    The guide does not mention migration where the database is on a remote server so I would like to confirm the process.

     

    Cheers.
