SEC 4.5 to 4.7 upgrade

1976saint

Hi, has anyone else come across this;

I attempted to upgrade my SOPHOS4.5 SQL2005 database server in my test lab and during the install it failed reporting that it was unable to upgrade the SOPHOS3 database (which was still on the box from our previous step upgrade from 3.1 to 4.0 to 4.5)!

Why it was attempting to do this I don't know but I took the step to do a bit of tidying up and deleted SOPHOS3 and 4 databases leaving only SOPHOS45.


Once deleted I tried the upgrade again but all I was presented with to install was the Sophos Enterprise Console. When I looked at SQL a SOPHOS47 database had appeared I guess from the original upgrade which failed.

Luckily for me this was a VM server that I snap shotted before so I reverted back, deleted the databases again and then installed with just SOPHOS45. The upgrade completed okay this time.

Anyone else come across this as this as a surprise.

    Hi Christian

    I do have the Snapshot as this is my test rig so if they are interested let me know.

    The installation did roll back and the Sophos47 DB was present in this case. As this server was not the SEC server (only the DB server) I anticipated running the installer again to make sure it completed without errors. On the second pass it only presented me with the SEC install, as you've implied the database was created already so that answers that question but leads to another.

    In this case, I would be able to upgrade my SEC box and it should have been okay?

    Thanks for your quick response.
