Monitoring Console Compatibility Issues
Java ES 5 Update 1 Monitoring Console is backward compatible with the
Release 5 version.
Monitoring Console Dependencies
Monitoring Console has dependency on a number of shared components Java
ES components (see Table 1–8).
Upgrading Monitoring Console from Java ES 5
This section includes information about upgrading Monitoring Console
from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1 . The section covers the following topics:
Introduction
When upgrading Release 5 Monitoring Console to Release 5U1, consider
the following aspects of the upgrade process:
-
General Upgrade Approach. The
upgrade is achieved by patching Release 5 Monitoring Console.
-
Upgrade Dependencies. Monitoring
Console has dependencies on a number of Java ES shared components (see Table 1–8), two of are hard upgrade dependencies
and need to be upgraded when you perform a maintenance upgrade of Monitoring
Console: MFWK and SJWC.
-
Backward Compatibility. Release
5UI Monitoring Console is backwardly compatible with the Release 5 version.
Release 5 Monitoring Console Upgrade
This section describes how to perform an upgrade of Monitoring Console
from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1. This section covers the following topics:
Pre-Upgrade Tasks
Before you upgrade Monitoring Console, perform the tasks described below.
Verify Current Version Information
Verify the current version of Monitoring Console before you upgrade.
To Verify Current Version Information
-
Open the Monitoring Console URL in a web browser:
https:MonitoringConsole_Host:6789
-
Log in as the Administrator.
-
Click the Sun Java System Monitoring Console link.
-
Click the Version button.
-
The Monitoring Console version information is displayed.
- Release 5U1
-
Monitoring Console 1.0 u1
- Release 5
-
Monitoring Console 1.0
Upgrade Monitoring Console Dependencies
It is generally recommended that all Java ES components on a computer
system (and in a computing environment) be upgraded to Release 5U1. Release
5U1 Monitoring Console has hard upgrade dependencies on MFWK and SJWC shared
components, which therefore need to be upgraded before upgrading Monitoring
Console. Monitoring Console also requires that Windows Installer patch (126910–02)
is already applied.
Backing Up Monitoring Console Data
Upgrade of Monitoring Console to Release 5U1 does not require the reconfiguration
of Monitoring Console software. Therefore backup of Monitoring Console data
is optional.
Upgrading Release 5 Monitoring Console
This section discusses considerations that impact the upgrade procedure
for Monitoring Console, followed by a description of the procedure itself.
Upgrade Considerations
The upgrade of Monitoring Console software to Java ES 5 Update 1 takes
into account the following considerations:
