Installer tasks
During an upgrade installation, the installation program performs the
following tasks:
- All the services needs to be stopped before upgrade or new installation. Use sm_service command to stop the services manually../sm_service stop <SERVICE NAME>
- Creates a backup copy of your customizations in the <BASEDIR>/smarts/.migrate.bkp.<version> directory.
- Removes the patch, if any, from the existing installation.
- Installs the software.
- Prompts you to merge your customizations files in the BASEDIR>/smarts/.migrate.bkp.<version> directory to the BASEDIR/smarts/local directory.
If the
broker is running on the host with a IP Manager, then it will have to be
stopped during an upgrade. The broker has to be stopped to prevent the impact
on all the other applications running on the system.
