Upgrading from version 2.0.00 to version 2.1.00

Your upgrade path to version 2.1 depends on your 2.0 installation environment. This topic explains different scenarios and the steps that you need to perform to upgrade products in your environment.

  • Scenario 1: You have a working 2.0 environment with all products in the solution installed and the 2.0 installer machine is available.
    1. Launch the installer.
    2. Upgrade all products, one by one, as described in the upgrade sequence section.
  • Scenario 2: You have a working 2.0 environment with all products in the solution installed (using the solution or product installers) but do not have the 2.0 installer machine available.
    1. Launch the installer.
    2. Select the Integrate with Existing Deployment option.

      1.  If you do not have the installer machine available but have a back up of the PlannerProductRegistry.xml registry file, select the I have a backup BMC Installation directory option. 

        Note

        If you integrated stand-alone BMC products into the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution in 2.0, first integrate those products into the 2.1 solution, and then integrate other products.

        To search for products that were installed by the solution installer, see searching for solution installer installed products.

      2. If you do not have the installer machine and do not have a back up of the PlannerProductRegistry.xml registry file available, select the I do not have a backup BMC Installation directory option.
    3. Follow the steps in the installer to generate the registry file.
    4. Exit the installer.
    5. Launch the installer again to upgrade all products, one by one, as described in the upgrade sequence section.
  • Scenario 3: You have BMC products installed in your environment that do not meet the minimum version required for upgrading to 2.1.
    1. Upgrade your BMC products by using the product installers.
    2. Launch the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 2.1 installer.
    3. Select the Integrate with Existing Deployment option and complete the process.
    4. Select the Modify with an Existing Deployment option and add additional products in the solution.
