Upgrading the master and database on Linux systems

The update processes of the master and the database are closely linked together and consist of the operations described in the following topics.

Warning

Note:

The new version of Client Management requires new tablespaces. If you have an Oracle database and have not yet upgraded your tablespaces, first see Upgrading-your-Oracle-database . If you have an PostgreSQL database, the tablespace upgrade is included in the master upgrade process. However, in specific situations, you still must upgrade the tablespaces manually, for example, if you renamed the tablespaces from their default values. To upgrade the database, see Upgrading-your-PostgreSQL-database before starting the following procedure.

  1. Open the /root/BMC/upgrade/master folder.
  2. Open a terminal window, and change directory to /root/BMC/upgrade/master .
  3. Run the following command: sh linux-master-upgrade.sh .
  4. The upgrade executable first stops the agent.

  5. Answer the questions that appear in the terminal window.

    Information

    This upgrade process automatically updates all operational rule steps, report templates and predefined objects. If you want to manually update the predefined objects at another time, see Upgrading the predefined objects .

  6. The upgrade process restarts the agent.
