Upgrading from v10.0.1

Before you begin

• Ensure that you upgrade the ESA prior to upgrading the protectors.

• Ensure that the ESA nodes in the Audit Store cluster are upgraded one at a time.

• If only two ESAs are available in the Audit Store cluster, then remove the secondary ESA from the cluster. Upgrade the primary ESA, then upgrade the secondary ESA, and add the secondary ESA back to the Audit Store cluster. However, a minimum of three ESAs are recommended for the Audit Store cluster.
