HA PAM Server upgrade paths

In most cases an inline upgrade using the PAM Server upgrade file will be required. But in some circumstances, due to changes in the system, an Osirium backup file of your current PAM Server will be used and restored onto a new PAM Server with the upgrade version installed.

Select one of the following options for your required upgrade:

• Upgrading an existing PAM Server HA Pair
