Abstract
System selects application hosts which meet update requirements, then downloads update for instances of application agent corresponding to selected application hosts. System puts selected application hosts in maintenance mode, which prevents selected application hosts from beginning execution of any operations, until updating selected application hosts is completed. System creates backup copy of state of instances of application agent. System generates installation instructions that, when executed by update sessions to install update, enable roll back from updated instances of application agent to state of instances of application agent recorded in backup copy. System initiates update sessions which install update in instances of application agent corresponding to selected application hosts. If update sessions failed to install update in any instances of application agent in cluster of application hosts, system rolls back update for updated instances of application agents in cluster to previous conditions and configurations of instances of application agents.
