IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Scenario: a rolling product upgrade
This section contains an example of a possible scenario for rolling out the upgrade of an installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment from one release to a later release.
- Configuration
Your existing Tivoli Monitoring environment includes these five distributed servers.
- Upgrade the Tivoli Monitoring environment
Install a given level of IBM Tivoli Monitoring on the primary and secondary hub monitoring server, on the remote monitoring servers, and on the portal server. Install agents (simple agents, subnode agents, SYSPLEX agents), including the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the Summarization and Pruning Agent, at the same level of IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
- Expected results
This section contains the expected results of the upgrade scenario.
- Special instructions for reseeding a Hot Standby monitoring server
Follow the steps in this section if your site has implemented a Hot Standby monitoring server with agent switching and you want to ensure a monitoring server remains active at all times, even while upgrading its application support (remember that upgrading any IBM Tivoli Monitoring process shuts down all local Tivoli Management Services components while the upgrade takes place).
