Upgrading the Operations Center

You can upgrade the Operations Center by using any of the following methods: a graphical wizard, the command line in console mode, or silent mode.

Before you begin

Before you upgrade the Operations Center, review the system requirements and the installation checklist. The new version of the Operations Center might have more or different requirements and considerations than the version you are currently using.

Restriction: During installation of the Operations Center, you can specify whether NIST SP800-131A compliance is required. This installation option is not available during a regular upgrade. If you want to use the TLS 1.2 protocol to secure communication between the Operations Center and web browsers, you must uninstall and then reinstall the Operations Center.

About this task

The instructions for upgrading the Operations Center are the same as the instructions for installing the Operations Center, with the following exceptions:

You use the Update function of IBM® Installation Manager rather than the Install function.
Tip: In IBM Installation Manager, the term update means to discover and install updates and fixes to installed software packages. In this context, update and upgrade are synonymous.
If you are upgrading the Operations Center in silent mode, you can skip the step of creating a password for the truststore file.
