Upgrades

This chapter discusses the effect of Traffic Manager version upgrades on the Configuration Importer.

As described in Snapshots, the Configuration Importer requires a snapshot of the configuration when the Traffic Manager is first deployed in order to establish a baseline on which to apply the imported configuration. As such, the Configuration Importer is not able to apply configuration to a Traffic Manager that was upgraded from a version prior to present version as no such snapshot was taken at the time the Traffic Manager was first deployed.

Ivanti recommends you deploy a new Traffic Manager instance at the latest version and use the Configuration Importer with the new instance. However, if necessary, create a snapshot manually on the upgraded instance using the instructions described in Snapshotting Configuration in Other Deployments.

Ivanti recommends that upgrades are performed by creating a new Traffic Manager instance at the latest version and using the Configuration Importer to apply the same configuration as applied to the older instance.
