  • You are already at Tivoli Management Services V6.2.x or higher.
  • You are upgrading the Tivoli Management Services components to the V6.3.0 and its Fix Packs, or you are upgrading one or more monitoring agent products to V5.5.0 (or V7.5.0 for OMEGAMON for Messaging on z/OS) or later versions.
