Hi All, BMC does not have 'Zero Downtime Upgrades' in any available code-line today.
Regards, Ryan. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Longwing, Lj Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 9:39 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: 7.6.04 Upgrade to 8.1 ** can you point me to the URL that discusses 'zero downtime upgrades'? I know that 8.1 wasn't released at last years rug, it was just 8.0, but I know that after the RUG David posted an idea (https://communities.bmc.com/ideas/1421) that is in a status of 'Under Consideration'....when they are available, it's changed to 'Delivered'....so all of the facts that I have currently available tell me that the demo we received last year isn't in a current code line...but if you could point me to docs to the contrary....I would love to see them.

But I don't think you can make that work unless you are upgrading FROM 8.1, not TO it.

It's something R&D is working on for the future. They wanted to see what kind of feedback that would have as sort of a litmus test. I could be wrong but that was my takeaway. Doug M was in that session and maybe he can go into more detail.

Has anyone used the No Downtime Upgrade method that was presented at last year's WWRUG to move from 7.6.04 to 8.1? If so, was it smooth or bumpy ride? We will be standing up a test system with 2 app VMs and a DB to test this approach.
