Upgrading a Release 22.6 or earlier client delegate server

Introduction

This section describes how to upgrade a Release 22.6 or earlier NFM-P client delegate server in a standalone or redundant NFM-P deployment.

You must comply with the general requirements in NFM-P deployment configuration, and any specific requirements in this section, before you attempt to upgrade an NFM-P client delegate server.

Platform requirements

Client delegate server deployment is supported on the following platforms:

• RHEL

• Microsoft Windows

If the NFM-P system uses a firewall, you must ensure that the firewall allows traffic to pass between the remote client stations and the client delegate servers. See the NSP Planning Guide for a list of the ports that must be open on each component.

Note: Client delegate server deployment requires a supported web browser on the client delegate server station. See the NSP Planning Guide for browser support information.

Microsoft Windows

See the NSP Planning Guide for the supported Microsoft Windows versions for client delegate server deployment.

Note: Client delegate server deployment on Windows requires local Administrator privileges.

RHEL

A RHEL client delegate server station must have:

• a supported OS release and patch level, as described in the NSP Planning Guide

• the required RHEL OS configuration and packages, as described in Chapter 3, RHEL OS deployment for the NSP

• the required Oracle JRE version; see the NSP Planning Guide for information

Optionally, for greater system security, you can remove the world permissions from RHEL compiler executable files; see Resetting GCC-compiler file permissions for information.

Note: Client delegate server deployment on RHEL requires root user privileges.

Note: The Bash shell is the supported command shell for RHEL CLI operations.
