Review the Considerations for Installing Updates

Review the following considerations before installing Arcserve UDP updates:

When installing an Arcserve UDP update or an Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) update, it is important to maintain optimal performance between the Console, the Recovery Point Server (RPS), and Agents. As a result, when the update is installed in an environment that contains both a Console and an Agent, you must always install the update on the Console first, and then on the RPS, and finally on the Agent. (For the Agent that is installed on the Console or the RPS, the update will be automatically installed on that Agent at the same time).
If necessary, you can download available updates from Arcserve either directly to a client machine or to a staging server first and then to a client machine.
If necessary, you can use your workstation node as a staging server for downloading Arcserve UDP updates.
Verify that the Update preference settings are properly configured.
- Updates can be installed either through the user interface or silently using the command line.
Review the Compatibility Matrix which provides the supported operating systems, databases, and browsers.
