Scenario C: Upgrading a z/OS monitoring server and adding a new monitoring agent

In this scenario, you are upgrading an existing z/OSĀ® monitoring server to V6.3.0 FP6 and adding a new V5.5.0 monitoring agent monitoring agent to the RTE.

Before you begin

If you do not plan to enable the self-describing agent (SDA) capability, you must upgrade the hub monitoring server before you upgrade a remote monitoring server that reports to it. If you intend to use SDA, and the runtime environment of hub monitoring server is already at Tivoli Management Services V6.3.0 FP6, the agent upgrades can start at a remote monitoring server.
