Step 5: Upgrade the Policy Broker machine

You must upgrade the machine that hosts Policy Broker first, regardless of which other components on are on the machine. Policy Broker may reside on:

• A full policy source appliance.
• A Windows Server machine.
• A RHEL machine.

See the Certified Product Matrix for a list of supported operating systems.

Any other components on the Policy Broker machine are upgraded along with Policy Broker.

If your configuration includes a primary Policy Broker and one or more replica Policy Brokers, you must upgrade the primary Policy Broker first.

Upgrade replica Policy Brokers after the primary has been upgraded and before attempting to upgrade any Policy Servers associated with the replicas. If Policy Server is installed on the Policy Broker machine, it is upgraded at the same time.
