Upgrading

This topic describes how to upgrade the product from an older version to a new one by migrating the database.

Warning

Important

You can only migrate a database from an old version to a new version only, not from a new version to an older version. To restore an older version, use your backup database.

Installing

When upgrading the BMC AMI Ops Insight product, the application sometimes modifies the database schema because of changes in the new version.

Before upgrading to a new version:

  • Create a backup of the database.
  • Make sure you have sufficient space on the file system (preferably at least 2.5 times the size of the database files) because BMC AMI Manager creates a backup before updating the database. 
  • Make sure you have enough time to complete the upgrade without interruption.
Error
Warning

Failure to follow these steps might result in corruption of the database files and leave them in an unrecoverable state.
