Upgrade order
The upgrade to a new version of an OMEGAMON agent follows an ordered procedure. The path to follow depends on the version levels of your previously installed components and products. Follow the sequence of steps appropriate for your monitored environment to complete the upgrade.
If you are running at or upgrading to Tivoli Management Services on z/OS version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2
or later versions, follow the Required order of upgrade in the "Planning your upgrade" section of the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.
Important: If the
self-describing agent (SDA) feature is not enabled, you must upgrade the hub monitoring server
before you upgrade remote servers and monitoring agents. The order is not optional. If you are using
self-describing agents, you can upgrade remote servers and agents before you upgrade the hub, but
some new features may not be available until you upgrade the hub.
Tip: If you want to migrate your monitoring server or
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server to a different platform (for example, from Windows® to Linux® on
zSeries®), you must upgrade it in place first, and then use
the export/import capability. For more information, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring:
Installation and Setup Guide.
