Upgrading your IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment

Before upgrading your IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA installation to version 7.1.1, you must upgrade your IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation to one of the following minimum supported versions:

• IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.2.0 or later fix pack
• IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.2.1

This upgrade must be performed on each computer in your enterprise where these components of IBM Tivoli Monitoring are installed:

• Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
• Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
• Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client

Each of these IBM Tivoli Monitoring components must be upgraded before installing or upgrading to IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA version 7.1.1. Refer to your IBM Tivoli Monitoring documentation for complete details about installing, upgrading, and configuring the IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment.

For your convenience, IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.2.0 Fix Pack 1 is provided with the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA version 7.1.1 product. You might prefer to install or upgrade to a later supported version or fix pack level. Refer to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring support Web site for more information on available fix packs and installation procedures.

Upgrading the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent: For computers in your monitored environment that do not have an IBM Tivoli Monitoring component installed, but have an IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA monitoring agent from a previous version, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring monitoring agent infrastructure is upgraded to the version 6.1 Fix Pack 7 level automatically during the upgrade of IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA to version 7.1.1.

Upgrading other monitoring agents: Existing monitoring agents for other Tivoli® products might also need to be upgraded. Refer to your monitoring agent product documentation for information about upgrades, and check if upgrading to one of these supported versions of IBM Tivoli Monitoring affects your existing monitoring agents.

Be sure to install or upgrade the following additional components of IBM Tivoli Monitoring as needed:

• Tivoli Enterprise Portal Web browser enablement (optional, also referred to as the browser client)
• Warehouse Proxy (if you intend to use historical reporting or save historical data to a database for later retrieval and analysis using IBM Web Services Navigator, or for displaying historical data in certain ITCAM for SOA workspaces and views)
• IBM® Eclipse Help Server, which is used to display searchable online help information in the IBM Eclipse Help System environment.
• The Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) for running the desktop version of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
• Internet Explorer version 6 or higher, with the Java Plug-in (at the same version as the JRE) for running the Web browser version of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
