Ivanti Neurons Platform: Engine Update - Emergency maintenance
Scheduled for Feb 18, 14:00 - 17:00 UTC
Scheduled
Ivanti will be performing an emergency update to both the Active and Passive Discovery Engines, specifically upgrading the version of Npcap used by the engines to incorporate the latest bugfixes and security enhancements.
Impact
Existing Installations: A system reboot will not be required after the engines upgrade is applied. However, during installation of the Npcap driver you may notice a brief pause in network activity for the device. RDP (Remote desktop protocol) connection may freeze or blackout for a few seconds. This may have repercussions if the discovery engines are installed on critical servers such as a SQL cluster.
New Installations: New installations of the active or passive discovery engine will not require a reboot and will operate as normal immediately. However, during installation of the Npcap driver you may notice a brief pause in network activity for the device. RDP (Remote desktop protocol) connection may freeze or blackout for a few seconds. This may have repercussions if the discovery engines are to be installed on critical servers such as a SQL cluster.
It is advised that to eliminate unexpected network connectivity issues on devices containing the discovery engines during this upgrade, that Maintenance Windows be utilized to control the upgrade schedule.
Action Required: No manual update is required. The upgrade will be applied automatically by the Agent.
Start Time: February 18th 14:00 UTC
End Time : February 18th 17:00 UTC
Note: Engine upgrades may not occur until the agent performs its next update binaries check (scheduled every 1 hour). Offline endpoints won't check-in and update binaries until next online
