Preparing the upgrade topology for deployment

When the upgrade topology is initially loaded into the Topology Editor, it contains several error and warning messages.

You can understand how to resolve these issues and prepare the upgrade topology for deployment.

Perform the following tasks:

Review the host and Tivoli® Netcool® Performance Manager component properties so that they match the values that exist in your current Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager environment.
Verify that the upgrade topology matches your current Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager installation base before you deploy the upgrade topology file.

Note: If you plan to change your Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager environment, such as adding or removing hosts, components, or deploying an advanced configuration, you must upgrade your existing environment first and performing any changes later.
