Upgrading PaperCut NG in a Microsoft Cluster Environment
KB Home | Upgrading PaperCut NG in a Microsoft Cluster Environment
If PaperCut NG is running in a Microsoft Cluster environment, the upgrade procedure is a little different from the standard upgrade procedure. The reasons for this include:
- The installer needs to stop the PaperCut services before performing the install-over-the-top. In a cluster environment, these services are controlled by cluster management software rather than by the local system. The install will not have access to the cluster resources so for this reason, the services need to be manually stopped prior to the procedure.
- A cluster is composed of 2 or more nodes. All nodes need to be upgraded at the same time.
This upgrade procedure is designed to compliment the standard upgrade procedure. The reader should familiarize themselves with the standard upgrade procedure before proceeding.
