Hi,
In our environment, we're using DFM 3.7.1 which is too older.
May i know what is the latest version to upgrade the DFM.
Also, can we upgrade to the latest version or need to go step by step with other versions.
Please let me know the upgrade procedure.
Many Thanks,
Satish
Solved! See The Solution
Hi Satish,
Thanks for the details. Let me give you some overview on how you should do this upgrade.
You are currently running version 3.7.1 which is close to 5 years old.
After that we have made the following version,
The current release is 5.2RC1 which is soon going to become GA. I am writing this in the assumption that you will upgrade to the latest version 5.2RC1.
The current upgrade plan would be to go like this
3.7.1 > 4.0.2D12 > 5.2RC1
Upgrade from 3.7.1 to 5.2RC1 is directly supported and seamless. But you should know and consider the following.
So since you are upgrading, all these PA flat files needs to be rewritten in the new format which would take considerable amount of time depending upon the amount of PA data you have.( We have seen PA flats files upgrade taking up to 26 hours when the data was close to 250GB). The rule of thumb is that its takes approximately 1 hour for each GB of PA data. Also it needs atleast 40% free space of the perf dir current size, inorder to do this upgrade with out any issue.
Also before upgrading pls find a 64bit server with supported OS by referring the IMT.
The current memory footprint is not sufficient, you would atleast need 8GB of memory and my recommendation would be 16GB.
Some of your existing monitoring intervals are too frequent than the default ones.
Pls reset them back to default. List below are the same.

vFilerTimestamp 1 minute 1 hour 13 Jun 16:03 Normal 13 Jun 16:02
Pls take a backup using the cli dfm backup create before you upgrade and keep it safe.
I would also recommend you to do a dry to know exactly how much time the entire upgrade would take before you go for the live one.
Based on the dry run estimated plan a downtime and upgrade as per the plan of 3.7.1 to 4.0.2D12 to 5.2RC1.

Hi Satish,
Whats is the current Operating system on which you are running DFM 3.7.1 ? If possible can you post the output of dfm diag from your server ?
Based on this I can give you more precise and customized upgrade procedure.

adai

Version 3.7.1.6014 (3.7.1)
Hi Satish,
Thanks for the details. Let me give you some overview on how you should do this upgrade.
You are currently running version 3.7.1 which is close to 5 years old.
After that we have made the following version,
The current release is 5.2RC1 which is soon going to become GA. I am writing this in the assumption that you will upgrade to the latest version 5.2RC1.
The current upgrade plan would be to go like this
3.7.1 > 4.0.2D12 > 5.2RC1
Upgrade from 3.7.1 to 5.2RC1 is directly supported and seamless. But you should know and consider the following.
So since you are upgrading, all these PA flat files needs to be rewritten in the new format which would take considerable amount of time depending upon the amount of PA data you have.( We have seen PA flats files upgrade taking up to 26 hours when the data was close to 250GB). The rule of thumb is that its takes approximately 1 hour for each GB of PA data. Also it needs atleast 40% free space of the perf dir current size, inorder to do this upgrade with out any issue.
Also before upgrading pls find a 64bit server with supported OS by referring the IMT.
The current memory footprint is not sufficient, you would atleast need 8GB of memory and my recommendation would be 16GB.
Some of your existing monitoring intervals are too frequent than the default ones.
Pls reset them back to default. List below are the same.

Pls take a backup using the cli dfm backup create before you upgrade and keep it safe.
I would also recommend you to do a dry to know exactly how much time the entire upgrade would take before you go for the live one.
Based on the dry run estimated plan a downtime and upgrade as per the plan of 3.7.1 to 4.0.2D12 to 5.2RC1.
