Upgrading virtualization configuration objects

The Upgrade Model Object Job is supported when you upgrade the virtualization configuration objects from 8.1 to 8.2.

The Upgrade Model Object Job is not supported for upgrading virtualization configuration objects for versions earlier than 8.1.

To upgrade configuration objects that you distributed in prior versions, complete the following steps:

1. Import the new version of the virtualization configuration object (for example, the VMware vCenter configuration object).
2. Restart the RSCD agent on which the configuration object is distributed. This step is a prerequisite for successful upgrade of the configuration object on the target server.
3. Run the Distribute Configuration Objects Job to distribute the configuration objects to the target agent (see Distributing configuration objects).
4. To identify the configuration objects that failed, run the Upgrade Model Objects Job on all jobs, templates, and BLPackages that reference the configuration object.
5. After the Upgrade Model Objects Job completes, open the objects for which the job failed.
6. Remove the parts that are marked as failed and add new ones from the upgraded configuration object.
