Creating a new SMP/E environment for a staged upgrade of new or existing runtime environments

Instead of cloning an existing environment to begin your staged upgrade, you can install the new product and component versions into a new SMP/E environment and then configure new or existing runtime environments that contain the new versions.

Procedure

  1. Install a ServerPac that contains the latest version of the Tivoli® Management Services on z/OS® components and of any OMEGAMON® products you want to upgrade.
    Make sure that the ServerPac contains all the products configured in the RTE, or they will not be included in the reconfigured RTE.

    Follow the instructions in the Program Directory for IBM® Tivoli Management Services on z/OS and in the Program Directory for each OMEGAMON product being installed.

  2. Configure the new runtime environments with the installed components and products.
  3. Complete any configuration required outside the configuration software.

    In Quick configuration mode, you can access "Complete the configuration" instructions for all installed products and components by selecting option 5 from the Workflow - Primary Option Menu. For more detailed instructions, see the following information:
