Updating Ignite and its impact

Hi experts,
I would like to ask for upgrading ignite, is there any major impact if i want to restore back backup that i did with make_net_recovery that used older version of the ignite? Lets say that for client server it has Ignite-UX C.6.7.79 and for Ignite server it has Ignite-UX C.7.4.155. Or vice versa.

Thanks for your help :-)

Hi

I would always suggest to keep the IUX server & client with same version of ignite.

So update version of ignite which is greatest & latest.

Thanks & Regards

Shalom,

Very minor impact.

1) You will get some new bugs.
2) Some old bugs will be fixed.
3) Older version images are supported with the new version.
4) Back up any customizations to configuration files and swremove the old version of Ignite or the new one will not work right after swinstall.

Oo..I see. So for conclusion if there any latest Ignite released by HP, the best practice is to upgrade both client and ignite server with it.

Thank you.
