Upgrade a LogRhythm High Availability Deployment
This document describes the upgrade procedure for LogRhythm High Availability (HA) systems to the current version of LogRhythm SIEM using the LogRhythm Database Upgrade Tool and the LogRhythm Install Wizard. The LogRhythm Database Upgrade Tool updates the LogRhythm databases only. The LogRhythm Install Wizard is used to upgrade the software components.
Starting with LogRhythm 7.8, the High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) software was decoupled from the SIEM software. There will no longer be a new upgrade package provided for HA/DR with every SIEM release.
The current version of HA and DR software is 10.1. The same files used to upgrade to the previous version of LogRhythm SIEM will be used to upgrade to the current version.
