Upgrade Process 8.0.3 to 8.1.3

[MalcolmC]

Hi All,

I'm new to Splunk administration and have been tasked with upgrading our 8.0.3 instance to 8.1.3.
We have 1 indexer and 1 search head.
Which do i upgrade first ?

All windows based.

thanks.

hi @MalcolmC,

The search head must be at the same or a higher level than the search peers (indexers). So you should upgrade the search head first then the indexer.
