Upgrading Performance Reporting Manager

If you have Performance Reporting Manager 3.0, 3.5, or 3.5 Update 1 installed on your system, the earlier software must be uninstalled as part of the upgrade procedure. If you want the Performance Reporting Manager data to be upgraded to version 3.5 Update 2, do not use the es-uninst script to uninstall the earlier software. This script does not offer you the choice to preserve the data from the previous version.

Instead, use the Sun Management Center installation wizard to remove the previous version software while installing the Sun Management Center software. The Sun Management Center installation wizard asks whether you want to preserve your previous version data files before removing the software. If you want to preserve your data files, answer Yes to this question. The installation wizard then proceeds to install the Sun Management Center software, and prompts you to select add-on products to install. You must say Yes to the installation of the Performance Reporting Manager 3.5 Update 2 software. The previous version data will be upgraded to version 3.5 Update 2 as long you install Performance Reporting Manager during the installation of Sun Management Center.

If you are upgrading the Sun Management Center server, the machine must have either the Solaris 8, Solaris 9, or Solaris 10 developer environment installed.

For more information about upgrading your Sun Management Center software, including detailed procedures, see the Sun Management Center 3.6 Installation and Configuration Guide.
