Align the Data Flow Probe CUP with the RTSM Server CUP

The cumulative update package (CUP) version of Data Flow Probes connected to the RTSM Server must always be aligned with the corresponding CUP version of the RTSM Server.

This task describes how to align the CUP version on the Data Flow Probes with the corresponding RTSM Server's CUP.

Note  

  • Aligning Data Flow Probe CUPs is necessary only if any of the connected Data Flow Probes in your system are installed with CUP versions that are later than the RTSM Server CUP version.

  • This option is available only for Probes that were updated with a CUP version (manually or using the Deploy Probe Update feature).

  • If a Probe installation includes a CUP, you cannot uninstall the CUP. To uninstall the CUP, you need to uninstall the Probe, and then reinstall the Probe with the correct CUP version.

To align the Data Flow Probe CUP version:

  1. In OMi, go to Administration > RTSM Administration> Data Flow Management > Data Flow Probe Setup.

  2. Click the Undeploy Probe Update button. The CUP version on each Data Flow Probe is downgraded by one CUP version, relative to the CUP version installed on each Data Flow Probe.

    Note If this button is not enabled, the CUP on each of the Probes is aligned with RTSM, and nothing further needs to be done.

  3. As long as the Undeploy Probe Update button is enabled, this indicates that there is one or more Probe whose CUP version is not aligned with the RTSM Server's CUP version. Click this button again to align the CUP version on those Probes.

    When the Undeploy Probe Update button becomes disabled, this indicates that the CUP version on all of the Probes is aligned with the RTSM Server's CUP version.

  4. Remove the CUP resource from RTSM to ensure that it is not deployed again:

    1. In Administration > RTSM Administration > Administration > Package Manager, select the probeUpdate package, and click Undeploy Resources .

    2. In the Undeploy Package Resources dialog box that opens, select the CUP resource.

    3. Click Next and then Finish.

Example

Consider the following deployment:

  • RTSM Server has CUP1 installed
  • Probe1 has CUP1 installed.
  • Probe2 has CUP2 installed.
  • Probe3 has CUP3 installed.

Aligning the CUP versions will have the following effect:

  • Probe1 remains untouched because its CUP version is aligned with that of the RTSM Server.
  • Probe2 is downgraded to CUP1.
  • Probe3 is downgraded to CUP2.

In order for Probe3 to be compatible with the RTSM Server, aligning the CUP versions again will have the following effect:

  • Probe1 and Probe2 remain untouched because their CUP versions are aligned with that of the RTSM Server.
  • Probe3 is downgraded to CUP1.
