ECC Host agent upgrade to 6.1

We recently ugpraded our ECC 6.0 infrastructure to ECC 6.1 UB5. We still have to upgrade all the UNIX & Windows hosts agents. Although i know how to upgrade the agents from the console, I noticed that when we select multiple hosts like 3 or 4 at a time, upgrade keeps failing and to individually upgrade each host is time consuming as there are lot of hosts.
Does anyone know of a better solution to upgrade all the hosts, may be via a script or something?

Thanks in advance,
JRP.

Actually, it was better this time. The only failures is something to do with the host itself, like a fireware or n/w issue...

BTW - If you open an SR and get an answer to this, please let us know. I would love to get this fixed, but I've just been too busy to worry about it

I've seen this many times, and I've sadly never got around to reporting it and looking for an "official" solution. What I have found that works though is this:

Pick one host to trigger the upgrade on first.
Once that task begins, you can launch a group of hosts and they won't fail like they would have if one upgrade hadn't already been running.

I suspect this has something to do with the timing of CC writing log/script/answer files at the same time, but I haven't found another way around it.

Another option is to select 20 hosts at a time. Only the 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes 4th will fail, and the rest will go through just fine. Once the batch completes, submit another set of jobs with the failed hosts one at a time.

thanks for the information. but i haven't tried the native. I am upgrading the agents as per Allen's suggestion and it is working out good so far.

Are you seeing the same pattern of failures as I described?
