Upgrading from a Previous Version

If OpsCx for IBM Tivoli is already installed on your system, you can directly upgrade from OpsCx for IBM Tivoli 2.00 to 3.01.

Limitations

  • Upgrade is supported only from Operations Connector 2.00 or higher version. Upgrading from OpsCx for IBM Tivoli 1.x is not supported.
  • The configuration is automatically upgraded only if the configuration files are located in their default location. If you installed the integration to a non-default path, you must manually update it after the upgrade.
  • After the upgrade, the event and topology services are automatically started and the old policies are active. The new metric service is not running. If you do not want to run all services, stop the unnecessary one and deactivate the corresponding policy. For details on how to stop the services, see Managing the Integration Services topic.

Considerations

  • During the upgrade, the fields discovery-field-ip and discovery-field-hostname from the existing event configuration are converted to discovery-field-ip-netcool in discovery-field-hostname-netcool and the values are retained.

    This means that if you kept the default values in the previous version, these old default values are retained after the upgrade and you need to manually change them to the new default values. See Event Integration Options topic for the new default values.

    If you modified these fields with your own values, the modified values are retained.

Upgrade Procedure

  1. Follow the installation procedure as described in Installing OpsCx for IBM Tivoli topic. The installation program will detect the older version and automatically upgrade your existing OpsCx for IBM Tivoli.

  2. After the upgrade is finished, check if your existing configuration was correctly upgraded and correct any settings if needed. If the upgrade performs correctly, the old policies remain active.

    To use the new polices, deactivate the old policies and activate the new polices.

  3. Import the content package to OMi to use the High Availability (HA) feature. For details on how to import the content package, see Importing the Content Package to OMi topic.
