Steps to Upgrade to Barracuda RMM 2023.4
Before you begin
First and most importantly, back up your database.
Take a moment to review:
Prerequisites
The Barracuda RMM installer will not allow you to proceed if you do not have the correct software configuration in place.
As an example, the Barracuda RMM install engine will abort your upgrade if it determines that Windows SQL 2008 Service Pack 1 has not been applied.
For Barracuda RMM 10 or higher, it is highly recommended that you set the Max Degree of Parallelism setting in the SQL Server Properties window. Enabling this setting improves SQL performance during and after the upgrade.
To set the Max Degree of Parallelism setting
- In the SQL Server Properties window, click the Advanced page.
- In the Parallelism area, for the Max Degree of Parallelism setting, enter 1. By default, this is set to 0.
If you are manually upgrading an Onsite Manager installed to a SQL instance other than LPIMWOMEXPRESS, please contact Support for assistance with moving your database to an instance using this name. Remote upgrades to Onsite Managers will continue to upgrade other instances without issue.
Releases higher than Barracuda RMM 12 SP4 require .NET 4.6.0 or higher. If you do not have .NET 4.6.0 or higher installed, it will be installed as part of Barracuda RMM, which may require a restart. See “Reboot After Install” in the Barracuda RMM Setup Guide for details.
We invite you to assess your current infrastructure against the recommendations for Barracuda RMM.
