What to expect
Upgrading your server
When you apply the upgrade, the enterprise server service shuts down and performs the upgrade tasks. When the upgrade tasks are complete, the enterprise server service starts up automatically. If you have more than one enterprise server, upgrade the master server first.
Most enterprise server upgrades take 5-10 minutes to complete. However, upgrades in larger environments may take 15-30 minutes or more, depending on the size of the environment.
If you recently upgraded to version 4.2.x from an earlier version, wait 24 hours after upgrading your master server and all storage servers before upgrading to another version. This waiting period ensures that all post-upgrade migration processes are complete before you start another upgrade.
Version 4.2.3 of the Code42 platform is affected by a known issue related to LDAP sync. In certain circumstances, this issue can cause data loss.
We recommend that you:
- Disable LDAP sync before upgrading to version 4.2.3.
- Enable LDAP sync only after upgrading to version 4.3.4 or later.
Upgrading your devices
There is no device upgrade for version 4.2.3.1.
