This topic contains the best practices to be adopted when upgrading to the Presentation Server 10.1.

Note

BMC recommends to upgrade the registered components before upgrading the Presentation Server.

  • If you upgrade the Presentation Server and then apply the Infrastructure Management update, you must restart the Presentation Server for changes to take effect.
  • If you do not upgrade your IT Data Analytics Server or App Visibility Portal to the supported version, the data collection fails and the component is displayed in the Disconnected state in the TrueSight console.

For more information about supported versions, see Presentation Server compatibility matrix.
