Upgrade

This section provides information about upgrading OMi MP for Infrastructure from previous version to 2.00 version. You can upgrade to 2.00 from any of the previous version.

Update the Management Templates and Aspects to a Newer Version

You can update the already deployed Management Templates and Aspects to the latest version. OMi MP for Infrastructure 2.0 contains the following new aspects. You must perform configuration before deploying these aspects.

• Adaptive Thresholding
• Change Configuration Monitor
• Key System Service Availability
• Operations Agent Self Monitoring
• Realtime Resource Bottleneck
• Performance Collection Component

The following are two scenarios when you need to update the Management Templates or Aspects:

Use Case 1: You have already deployed Infrastructure Aspects and/or Management Templates to the managed nodes before installing OMi MP for Infrastructure 2.00. We recommend you to use the latest version of Aspects or Management Templates on those nodes.

To update to the latest version, select the Management Templates or Aspects on the managed nodes. Perform the following steps for each Management Template and Aspect assignment on each of the managed nodes:

1. Open the Assignments & Tuning pane and click Administration > Monitoring > Assignments & Tuning.
2. In the Browse Views pane, select the Infrastructure_Common view and select each Node CI where version update is required.

3. Click Show Assignments That Require an Update.

   All the Management Templates and Aspects that requires an update are listed.

4. Select each of the Management Templates and Aspects and click Update Assigned Item.

   The Update Assigned Item dialog box appears.

5. In the Update Options tab, follow these steps:

   • Select the latest version from the Update to Version drop down list.
   • If you select Use parameter values from existing assignments, only the new mandatory parameters that do not have a default value are listed.

   • If you select Use default parameter values from version selected above, all mandatory parameters from the selected Management Template or Aspect version that do not have a default value are displayed. These parameters must be edited before proceeding to the next step of the wizard.

6. Click Next to go to Required Parameters.

   To change a parameter, double-click or select the parameter from the list and click Edit.

   The Edit Parameter dialog opens. If there are no mandatory parameters that require editing for this assignment, you are automatically taken to the Parameter Summary tab.

7. Click Next to go to Parameter Summary tab, or click Finish to save the changes and close the wizard.

8. Click Finish to save the changes and close the wizard. The assigned item is updated to the specified Management Template or Aspect version.

Use Case 2: You are using a Management Pack that internally uses the OMi MP for Infrastructure Aspects and you need to update the Infrastructure Aspects to the latest version. For example, OMi MP for Oracle Database, OMi MP for Oracle WebLogic, OMi MP for Microsoft Exchange Server, OMi MP for SAP, and so on use Infrastructure Aspects to monitor Infrastructure performance such as Resource Bottleneck Diagnosis, System Fault Analysis and so on.

To update all items in a Management Template of OMi Servers, do the following:

1. Open the Management Templates & Aspects pane:

   Click Administration > Monitoring > Management Templates & Aspects.

2. Select each Management Template that contains the Infrastructure Aspects.

3. Click Update to Latest.

   The Update to Latest Wizard appears.

4. In the Options tab, click Next.

5. In the Preview tab, a preview of the update is shown as an expanded tree view of the Aspect, where items that will be updated are labeled "(old version > new version)", and items that will not be updated are labeled "(current version)".

6. Click Finish to apply the update as shown in the preview.

To update the latest version of Management Templates on the managed nodes:

1. Click Administration > Monitoring > Assignments & Tuning.
2. In the Browse Views pane, select the specific application view and select each CI where version update is required.

3. Click Show Assignments That Require an Update.
