Server Patching Recommendation

Products

• CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)

Issue/Introduction

We need to perform patching on those servers where we install the Network Flow Analysis. Patching the OS.

Could you please suggest any procedure or prerequisite during the patching its affect the functionality of the application or not.

 

Environment

Release : 10.0

Component : NQRAFM - NETQOS RA FLOW MANAGER

Resolution

The only special recommendation we have is to make sure all NetQoS services are shut down before applying patches. Also, after the post-patch reboot make sure that all the services that are supposed to start automatic have successfully started, since sometimes after the first reboot services might not start automatically.
