    Hello,

    you can upgrade either source or target first. There is no restriction - remember that sometimes AIR is bi-directional and it would complicate upgrade scenarios because then you would have to upgrade all Masters at the same moment.

    You will have to deploy target master certificates on the source Master once you upgrade the source to 8.1.2
