Upgrading Management Server on Linux
You can upgrade an existing 7.3.1 or later Management Server on a Linux host to Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager 7.4.2 using
Veritas_InfoScale_Operations_Manager_MS_7.4.2_Linux.bin or Veritas_InfoScale_Operations_Manager_MS_7.4.2_Linux_Full.bin file. When you run the .bin file, the installer first attempts to upgrade the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager database to a temporary location. If the database upgrade is successful, the remaining steps in the upgrade process are carried out. If the database upgrade fails, the previous version of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is restored.
Before you upgrade Management Server, Veritas recommends that you take a backup of the Management Server data.
Note: If the existing Management server has its database at a non-default location, the installer gives read and execute permission to other users for the non-default location as a part of the upgrade process.
