Before planning the update process, verify that:

  • All Your system meets all minimum requirements were met before updating to v9.6.2, the latest version as per the Precise Minimum Requirements for Installation guideGuide.
  • The Precise installation that is going to be updated you want to update is fully updated to v9.5. If it still has agents that were the required previous version. If some agents are not yet updated to v9.5the required previous version, complete the update to v9.5 that version prior to starting attempting to update to v9.6.2.the latest version.
  • Free There is free disk space exists on the servers that have Precise v9.5 installed, as followswhere the required previous version is installed. Minimum requirements include:
    • 0.5GB on each server with containing Precise Agents
    • 2.5 GB on the Precise Framework server
  • There is 0.5GB free disk space exists on the client server that from which you want to execute the update will be executed from.

Server update order

Your existing Precise installation typically spans many servers. Since Because the update to Precise v9.6.2 the latest version of Precise is performed per server, you should plan in advance the order in which you will update all servers comprising your existing Precise installation.

If you are not able unable to update all servers at once, but will update the same time and are updating only a few servers at a time, take note of once, review the implications described in The implications Implications of a phased update to the latest version of Precise v9.6.2.

The order of the server update is:

...

  1. Update all FocalPoint servers

...

  1. .

...

  1. Update all other servers

...

  1. .

When starting the update, you must select all the FocalPoints servers. You can add additional servers for the update later ( once the FocalPoints servers are updated ), or as part of the FocalPoint update (in this . In which case the server update will start starts once the FocalPoint servers are completely updated).

the latest version of Precise

If you are not updating unable to update all servers at once, but the same time and are updating only a few servers at a timeonce, the following limitations will apply to your Precise system functionality:

  • After starting an update has started, a server that has not fully completed the update cannot have instances installed, edited, or uninstalled, you cannot install, edit, or uninstall instances on a server until the update is complete.
  • For installed Web and J2EE Clustersclusters, new instances will are not be installed until the cluster's servers are updated.
  • If you have created a Template Listener as part of you server’s server's image, new Template Listener installations will fail after the update. You must recreate the Template Listener once the framework update has been completedis complete.

When updating the servers with the Precise FocalPoints, your the installed Precise performance monitoring system will is not be in operation. Once the Precise Framework update is complete, Precise v9.6.2 will resume resumes all performance monitoring previously provided by Precise v9.5the previous version of Precise.

The time required for updating a server with the Precise FocalPoints may vary depending on:

  • the strength of the server with the FocalPoint

...

  • the strength of the server where you are using AdminPoint to apply the update

...

  • the file transfer speed

...

  • the amount of Precise technologies monitored by Precise

...

  • the time it takes to perform post-application action items

. In general, updating a server with a Precise FocalPoint is estimated at one hour. Updating a server with a FocalPoint will be is fastest when application of the update is performed using AdminPoint on the Main node server with the Precise FocalPoint, and the update is located on storage providing good response time to that server.

If you have a federated Precise deployment, then when updating the servers with the FocalPoint of the Main node, your entire Precise federated deployment will not be operable is inoperable for performance monitoring. When updating another node's servers with a FocalPoint, only that node will not be operable is inoperable for performance monitoring.

Non-FocalPoint agents

Precise agents will do not collect performance data while they are being updatedduring an update. The time it takes required to update a server running Precise agents varies depending on the technology type and the amount number of Precise agents on that server, as well as the factors described above regarding updating the server with the Precise FocalPoints. In general, updating a Precise agents server is estimated at 20 minutes.
