Steps to Upgrade the Management Server
Step 1 - Read the Support Matrix and Release Notes
Read the support matrix and release notes. Read the support matrix to make sure the servers on
which you are upgrading the management server meet or exceed the requirements. Management
server requirements are listed on the Manager Platform (Mgr Platform) tab of the support matrix.
Also, read the release notes for late breaking issues not covered in the Installation Guide. The
release notes and support matrix can be found on the top-level of the management server CD and
the CIM extension CDs.
Step 2 - Verify that You Are Running Build 5.1
Service Pack 4 or a Later 5.1 Service Pack
Verify that you have a working Build 5.1, SP4 management server before upgrading to Build 6.0.
Existing installations that are at Build 5.1, SP1, Build 5.1, SP2, or Build 5.1, SP3, must upgrade to
Build 5.1, SP4 or later prior to upgrading to Build 6.0. In an integrated Storage Essentials/SIM
environment, you must also upgrade to the Service Pack 4 connector. If using the HP Kit in an
integrated Storage Essentials/SIM environment, you must first install SP3, if you are not currently at
SP3 or SP4.
Step 3 - Save Configuration Files for the Global
Change Management Business Tool
Make a copy of the configuration files saved through the Global Change Management Business
Tool. The configuration files are not retained after you upgrade the product. These files are located
in the “advisors/saved-configuration” area on the management server. Place these files back after
the upgrade or reinstall. If you do not use Global Change Management or do not wish to keep the
old configurations, you may ignore this step.
Step 4 - Upgrade HP SIM
Upgrade HP SIM in this step. In the case of a dual box installation, the SIM upgrade procedure
should be carried out on the server where HP SIM is installed.
• If you are running a version before HP SIM 5.1, you should upgrade HP SIM during this step.
• Stop appstormanager services prior to starting this step.
• Your integrated environment will be non-operational until after the completion of the connector
upgrade in a later step.
