Upgrading a 64-bit environment with a backup central manager

Upgrading your 64-bit Guardium environment using a backup central manager.

Before upgrading your 64-bit Guardium environment using a backup central manager, review the following checklist and complete each item before attempting the upgrade.

Important: Before performing restore db on a V10 system, apply the latest maintenance patches after your system has been built to V10. If you are using a 64-bit collector-based central manager, the upgrade patch will handle the upgrade and convert the system from a collector-based central manager to an aggregator-based central manager.

Upgrade checklist
