Upgrading the Operations Center

Edit online

You can upgrade the Operations Center by using any of the following methods: a graphical wizard, the command line in console mode, or silent mode.

Before you begin

Before you upgrade the Operations Center, review the system requirements and the installation checklist. The new version of the Operations Center might have more or different requirements and considerations than the version you are currently using.

Note:

Before you upgrade to IBM Storage Protect Server version 8.2, upgrade your deployment to IBM Storage Protect 8.1.27.
Before you start the upgrade, complete all required certificate management tasks. These tasks help maintain system integrity, ensure secure communication, and prevent service disruption. Begin the upgrade only after you perform and validate all certificate-related prerequisites. For more information, see the following topics:
- Preparing certificates for upgrades with CA‑signed certificates
- Preparing certificates for upgrades with self‑signed certificates

About this task

The instructions for upgrading the Operations Center are the same as the instructions for installing the Operations Center, with the following exceptions:

You use the Update function of IBM® Installation Manager rather than the Install function.

Tip: In IBM Installation Manager, the term update means to discover and install updates and fixes to installed software packages. In this context, update and upgrade are synonymous.
If you are upgrading the Operations Center in silent mode, you can skip the step of creating a password for the truststore file.
