To migrate a ZENworks 11 SP3 Appliance to ZENworks 11 SP4, you copy the ZENworks data and appliance network settings from the ZENworks 11 SP3 Appliance, deploy the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance, and then transfer the ZENworks 11 SP3 data to the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance.
In a multi-appliance ZENworks system, the order of migration is important only if you are using the embedded Sybase database. In this case, you need to migrate the appliance with the database first, followed by any other appliances. If you are using the remote Sybase database or an external database, you can migrate appliances in any order.
