Scenario B: Upgrading the z/OS monitoring server and monitoring agents
In this scenario, you are upgrading the monitoring server to V6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 and upgrading one monitoring agent or more in the runtime environment to the latest versions installed at the same time.
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.
About this task
