Upgrade Considerations

When upgrading from any version of Sun Enterprise SyMON software, or upgrading from any version of Sun Management Center software, the server and console layers must be upgraded first.

As shown in Table 4–1, Sun Management Center 3.6 servers and consoles support previous versions of Sun Management Center agents and Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.0.1 agents. Consequently, Sun Management Center agents can be upgraded when time or circumstances permit.

All Sun Management Center software components should be upgraded to version 3.6 to take advantage of the improved monitoring and management capabilities provided by Sun Management Center 3.6.

When upgrading, make sure you use the same port number for the agent as you used in the previous installation. This advice is applicable to both an agent upgrade and a server upgrade.
