Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Upgrade the Base Management Feature on a Server

This procedure describes how to upgrade the base management feature on a server. This procedure is necessary after upgrading the N1 System Manager from a previous release, for provisionable servers on which the previous version of the base management feature is still installed. This procedure is for individual servers. You can upgrade the base management feature on multiple servers at once. See Chapter 2, Upgrading the Sun N1 System Manager Software and Provisionable Server Management Agents, in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for details.

Note –

If the server was freshly installed using the load server or load group commands from the latest version of the N1 System Manager, and the feature subcommand was used, this procedure is not necessary.

Use the add server feature basemanagement command with the upgrade keyword to upgrade a provisionable server to a new version from the existing base management feature.

If you submit add server feature commands by using a script, see Example 5–1 for an example.

Before You Begin
Steps

  1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

    See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

  2. To upgrade the base management feature, type the following command:


    N1-ok> add server server feature basemanagement upgrade

    An Add Base Management Support job starts.

    See add server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Command Line Reference Manual for details about command syntax.

  3. Track the Add Base Management Support job to completion.

    After the job completes successfully, the show server command output for the server appears with the OS Monitoring Supported value as OK. In addition, the Base Management Supported column on the Server Details page is marked as Yes. See Enabling and Disabling Monitoring for a graphic that shows this.

Troubleshooting

Adding the base management feature might fail due to stale SSH entries on the management server. If the add server feature osmonitor agentip command fails and no true security breach has occurred, remove the known_hosts file or the specific entry in the file that corresponds to the provisionable server. Then, retry the add server feature osmonitor agentip command. If the management server is running Linux, the known_hosts file is at /root/.ssh/known_hosts. If the management server is running the Solaris OS, the known_hosts file is at /.ssh/known_hosts.
