To install SP1 Update 1 on an array using external load balancing

  1. On the external load balancer, make sure that no traffic is routed to the array manager server.

  2. As the administrator, install SP1 Update 1 on the array manager by double-clicking the UAG-KB2585140-v4.0.1773.10100-ENU.msp file.

    Restart the server.

  3. Start the Forefront UAG Management console and activate the configuration.

  4. Wait until the activation completes successfully on the array manager. Use the Activation Monitor to view the activation progress.

    Note

    Activation will be successful only on the array manager. Do not wait for activation to succeed on the array members.

    Activation may be unsuccessful on the first attempt. If this happens, activate the configuration a second time and then continue.

  5. On the external load balancer, make sure that traffic is routed to the array manager server.

  6. Check that the activation was successful by browsing to the portal home page from a client endpoint.

  7. For each array member, do the following:

      Restart the server.

    3. On the array manager server, activate the configuration.

    4. Wait until the activation completes successfully on the array manager and on the array member on which you installed SP1 Update 1. Use the Activation Monitor to view the activation progress.

      Activation may be unsuccessful on the first attempt. If this happens, activate the configuration a second time and then continue.
