IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Upgrade steps
When you are performing an upgrade, ensure that you install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components in the correct order.
When performing upgrades read this Installation and Setup Guide or the supplied fix pack readme carefully. Perform your installation in the following order:
This order might vary depending on the content of the release and the fix pack.
- Event Synchronization
- Warehouse including Warehouse Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent
- Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
- Remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
- Run any scripts necessary to update the Warehouse schema
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client
- Update monitoring agents
In some cases, when you upgrade the infrastructure components you will also be upgrading the monitoring agents on those servers. It is okay to upgrade those monitoring agents at that time.
Self-describing monitoring agents is a feature that integrates the installation of an agent with the dispersal and installation of associated product support files throughout the Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure.
