How to Patch JetPatch Server Itself (also JetProxy and Dedicated Database Server)

JetPatch server can be added to JetPatch manager console and can be updated as well as other JetPatch related servers (dedicated database server or jetproxy). As always, stay on the safe side of the things, and before updating, we recommend doing a backup or a snapshot. 

Step 1: Deploy Connector

On the server (servers), deploy the connector. It can be done differently:

• Push it from JetPatch Manager console;
• Install it from the endpoint itself.

Step 2: Create a Separate Group for JetPatch server 

In JetPatch Manager, a new group should be created with JetPatch server in it only (it can also include separate database server and JetProxy, if applicable) 

Step 3: Create a Maintenance Window dedicated for patching the JetPatch Server 

Create a maintenance window in separate time slots than the rest of the computer groups. Since most updates require a restart, we don't want such procedure to interfere with ongoing patching activities.
