I am attempting to upgrade our SolarWinds products, beginning with moving NPM from 11.0.1 to 11.5.2.
We have two SolarWinds servers. One houses SAM and our database. The other houses NCM and NPM.
I have backed up the database and begun the install for NPM 11.5.2. The installation completed and the Configuration Wizard launched. I am now getting a warning about Multiple Polling Engines being detected. This message is saying I must use a different database unless I am completing a server migration and is asking how I want to proceed.
The actual message is:
"The database you have selected is currently being used by another SolarWinds application installed at servername. Unless you are completing an Orion server migration, you must use a different database for the SolarWinds application you are currently configuring. Do you still want to use the selected database?"
I have stopped all Orion services on the other SolarWinds server but I am still receiving the error.
We would like to maintain one database for all of our products. I am unsure which option to select.
Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any advice on how to proceed?
**UPDATE**
All appears to be working now. We had an alternate database that was still in use. Pointing to the alternate database fixed the issue.
