Managing a Heterogeneous Environment Upgrade paths to a heterogeneous environment 2 Sample Scenarios The following are the list of sample scenarios. Proceed to the one that matches your deployment. Though the sample scenarios predominantly feature only the I-series and M-series Sensors, a 6.0 Manager can manage the N-450 and Network Threat Behavior Analysis (NTBA) appliances as well. Scenarios involving the Central Manager The following scenarios involve the Central Manager. If you do not have a Central Manager deployed, you can proceed to Scenarios involving the Manager. • Upgrade from a homogeneous 5.1 Manager environment to a heterogeneous 6.0 Manager environment: • Scenario 1: MDR setup • Scenario 2: Standalone setup • Upgrade from a heterogeneous 5.1 Manager environment to a heterogeneous 6.0 Manager environment: • Scenario 3: MDR setup • Scenario 4: Standalone setup Upgrade requirements for the scenarios listed above • The Central Manager must be of version 5.1.11.22 or above. See the 4.1 to 5.1 Upgrade Guide for information on how to upgrade the Central Manager to a 5.1 version. • As a best practice, upgrade any 4.1 Managers to 5.1.11.22 or a higher 5.1 version. Also, upgrade the 4.1 Sensors to the corresponding 5.1 version. So, before you begin your 6.0 upgrade, ensure there are no 4.1 Managers or Sensors in your deployment. See also Scenarios involving the Manager on page 15 Scenario 2 on page 12 Scenario 3 on page 13 Scenario 4 on page 14 Scenario 1 This scenario is about an upgrade from a homogeneous 5.1 Manager environment to a heterogeneous 6.0 Manager environment managed by an MDR pair of Central Managers.

Sample Scenarios
The following are the list of sample scenarios. Proceed to the one that matches your deployment.
Though the sample scenarios predominantly feature only the I-series and M-series Sensors, a 6.0
Manager can manage the N-450 and Network Threat Behavior Analysis (NTBA) appliances as well.
Scenarios involving the Central Manager
The following scenarios involve the Central Manager. If you do not have a Central Manager deployed,
you can proceed to Scenarios involving the Manager.
•
Upgrade from a homogeneous 5.1 Manager environment to a heterogeneous 6.0 Manager
environment:
•
Scenario 1: MDR setup
•
Scenario 2: Standalone setup
•
Upgrade from a heterogeneous 5.1 Manager environment to a heterogeneous 6.0 Manager
environment:
•
Scenario 3: MDR setup
•
Scenario 4: Standalone setup
Upgrade requirements for the scenarios listed above
•
The Central Manager must be of version 5.1.11.22 or above. See the 4.1 to 5.1
Upgrade Guide
for
information on how to upgrade the Central Manager to a 5.1 version.
•
As a best practice, upgrade any 4.1 Managers to 5.1.11.22 or a higher 5.1 version. Also, upgrade
the 4.1 Sensors to the corresponding 5.1 version. So, before you begin your 6.0 upgrade, ensure
there are no 4.1 Managers or Sensors in your deployment.
