This section describes upgrading SSH Tectia Manager version 2.x to version 6.0.
To upgrade SSH Tectia Manager that is using the Sybase database, follow the instructions below:
Stop the Management Server:
# /etc/init.d/ssh-mgmt-server stop
Upgrade the Management Server.
On Linux: To upgrade from a previous version of the
Management Server, run the following command as root:
# rpm --upgrade ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-linux-x86.rpm
In the command, <v> is the current release version of
the Management Server (for example 6.0.6.123).
On Solaris: To upgrade the Management Server, copy the package to
the hard disk to a temporary directory of your choice, uncompress the
package, and run the upgrade. Run the following commands as
root:
# cp /cdrom/install/solaris/ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-solaris-8-10-sparc.pkg.Z . # uncompress ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-solaris-8-10-sparc.pkg.Z # pkgrm SSHmgmtse ... answer "yes" to any questions displayed # pkgadd -d ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-solaris-8-10-sparc.pkg all ... answer "yes" to any questions displayed
In the commands, <v> is the current release version of
the Management Server (for example 6.0.6.123).
The Management Server installation package includes the installation packages for the Management Agents for all supported platforms. There is no need to import them separately to the Management Server machine.
Start the Management Server:
# /etc/init.d/ssh-mgmt-server start
Wait for the database update to finish and login to the Management Server.
In case of problems, check the system syslog for possible error
messages. An environment that is running correctly should always have the
Management Database process and the Management Server processes (ssh-mgmt-server
and ssh-mgmt-engine) running.

Note specifically that all the modules should be started using the startup script provided, since running the binaries directly will cause the paths and environment to be set incorrectly. |
The process listing should have the following processes after a while:
# ps -def | grep ssh-mgmt root 1503 1 0 09:42 ? 00:00:00 ssh-mgmt-server sshmgmt 1504 1503 4 09:42 ? 00:00:10 ssh-mgmt-engine sshmgmt 1530 1 0 09:42 ? 00:00:01 dbeng8 -ga -x none -n ssh-mgmt
Check that the following syslog messages appear:
# tail -f /var/log/messages | grep ssh-mgmt-engine ssh-mgmt-engine[1504]: Database update finished. ssh-mgmt-engine[1504]: SSH Tectia Manager restarted
Upgrade the Management Agents to new versions remotely at Software → Management Agent.
Check that all hosts are correctly upgraded to the new version at Reports → Standard reports → Tectia management system reports → Tectia Management Agent versions.
