Do these steps sound right?
1) Stop Solarwinds Services on main server + APEs
2) SQL Guy takes backup of Orion DB
3) VM Snapshot of main NPM server
4) Restart Services on main NPM/SAM server (Stop them on the APEs though correct?)
5) Run SAM install to upgrade (advanced install to point to existing SQL DB?)
6) Run SAM poller install to upgrade APEs
7) Finish
