In this example, the Sun Management Center 3.0 server, agent, and console are installed on three machines as follows:
The Sun Management Center 3.0 console is installed on machine A.
The Sun Management Center 3.0 server is installed on machine B.
The Sun Management Center 3.0 agent is installed on machine C.
The following procedure summarizes the steps required to upgrade the Sun Management Center 3.0 installation to Sun Management Center 3.5 on all three machines.
If your Sun Management Center 3.0 installation includes the Performance Reporting Manager, the upgrade process enables you to migrate the Sun Management Center data and your Performance Reporting Manager data. Make sure the machine on which the Performance Reporting Manager is installed has sufficient resources for the Sun Management Center 3.5 as described in Table 1–4.
Make sure each machine is a supported platform.
See Supported Platforms.
Make sure each machine has the required resources.
Determine whether you will install from the media or from a installation image.
Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 server on machine B as described in Upgrading the Server.
During the installation:
Uninstall the previous Sun Management Center version when prompted.
Choose whether to migrate the Sun Management Center version data.
Select migrate data to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 data and use the data in Sun Management Center 3.5.
Select discard data if you do not want to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 data.
Select the production environment.
Select the server layer only. The agent is automatically installed.
When server installation is finished, you are given the option to run setup. Run setup.
Set up the server on machine B.
During server setup:
Provide a password to generate the security key.
The password must be the same password you provided when you set up Sun Management Center 3.0.
Provide an SNMPv1 security string.
The security string must be the same security string you provided when you set up Sun Management Center 3.0.
If you chose to migrate the Sun Management Center 3.0 data to Sun Management Center 3.5, choose whether to restore the Sun Management Center 3.0 data.
If you provide a different password for security seed generation on the server than you provided forSun Management Center 3.0 , then you must use the new password to generate the same security seed when setting up the agents. If you do not upgrade a Sun Management Center 3.0 agent to Sun Management Center 3.5, you must regenerate the security key for the Sun Management Center 3.0 agent machine as described in Regenerating Security Keys.
When server setup is finished, you are given the option to start Sun Management Center components. Start all components.
Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 agent on machine C as described in Upgrading Agents.
During agent installation:
Choose whether to migrate the Sun Management Center version agent data.
Select migrate data to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 data and use the data in Sun Management Center 3.5.
Select discard data if you do not want to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 data.
Select the production environment.
Select the agent layer only
Set up the agent on machine C.
During agent setup:
Provide a password to generate the security key.
The password must be the same password you provided when you set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 server.
Provide an SNMPv1 security string.
The security string must be the same security string you provided when you set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 server.
If you chose to migrate the Sun Management Center 3.0 agent data to Sun Management Center 3.5, choose whether to restore the Sun Management Center 3.0 data.
When agent setup is finished, you are given the option to start the Sun Management Center agent. Start the agent.
Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 console on machine A.
Type the command /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-uninst to uninstall the Sun Management Center 3.0 console.
Install and set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 console as described in Installing Sun Management Center.
When the console setup is finished, start the console by typing the command /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -c.
