Upgrade Alloy Discovery server components

Updated in 2021.2

Upgrade your Alloy Discovery server components on the production server. The actual steps depend on your pilot environment.

  • Pilot Inventory Server is installed on a separate computer

    Pilot upgrade from version 8 or later required that you installed Alloy Discovery server components on a virtual machine or a separate computer, different from the production server.

    Now you need to upgrade your existing Alloy Discovery server components on the production server. For instructions, see Upgrade Alloy Discovery Enterprise components.

  • Pilot Inventory is installed on your production server

    For pilot upgrade from version 7 or earlier we recommended that you install the new version of Alloy Discovery server components on the production server computer that currently hosts your production Inventory Server.

    This means that your production server already hosts Alloy Discovery server components of the most recent version. To seamlessly replace your old installations with the new version, you should reconfigure the server to work with your production database. For details, see Start the production Inventory Server.

NEXT STEP: Switch your pilot Alloy Discovery database to production.
