IBM Endpoint Manager, Version 9.0

Upgrading on Linux systems

You can upgrade outdated versions of the IBM Endpoint Manager server, IBM Endpoint Manager console, IBM Endpoint Manager relay, and IBM Endpoint Manager client by using a Fixlet message in the BES Support content site from your console or manually.

Note: Using the upgrade Fixlets is the preferred and simplest way to upgrade all the IBM Endpoint Manager components. It is recommended that you upgrade the IBM Endpoint Manager clients and IBM Endpoint Manager relays whenever possible to take advantage of the new functions.

The upgrade Fixlet on Linux also manages all the components including remote databases.

When new versions of IBM Endpoint Manager are released, the upgrade Fixlet messages are released in a planned roll-out process so it might take a few days before the upgrade Fixlet messages become relevant after the upgrade. First you see a Fixlet message relevant to upgrade your IBM Endpoint Manager server. After the IBM Endpoint Manager server is upgraded, Fixlet messages to upgrade the IBM Endpoint Manager clients and IBM Endpoint Manager relays become relevant the next time that the IBM Endpoint Manager clients register.
