We are planning to update from CU 10 to CU 11 HF1. can we install CU11 HF1 directly or should we install the intermediate update one by one.

  1. We have 2 sites with standard front pool in each site and edge server in each site

Site1
PRStandard FE
Edge

Site 2
DRStandard FE
Edge

DRFE is configured as Backup pool FQDN when your get-cspool.

Please advice
a. order of patching the servers

The DC and DR site front end servers are pool paired.
Can we patch DR site servers (FE & Edge). Get downtime for DC site servers (FE and Edge). We dont want to failover to DR site once they are patched. We have a complete downtime.

Cheers
Priya

    Hi @Priya Jayaraman

    We recommend you patch each site one by one. Work with one pool and one server at a time when patching and never patch more than one front end server at one time. For more details about it, you can refer to:
