Upgrading OpsCenter silently

Use the following procedures to upgrade to OpsCenter components silently.

To upgrade OpsCenter

  1. If you are using OpsCenter to monitor NetBackup, ensure that you upgrade OpsCenter before upgrading NetBackup.
  2. Log on as administrator to the OpsCenter system that you want to upgrade.
  3. Insert the appropriate OpsCenter DVD in the DVD drive.
  4. Open the command prompt on your system.

    Navigate to <DVD Drive>\<Architecture>\Server directory.

  5. Enter the following command:

    SETUP.EXE -NoInstall

    Note that the -NoInstall switch is case-sensitive .

    This command starts the Installation Wizard where you can specify your preferences. Note that the Installation Wizard creates the response file based on your inputs and does not install the product.

  6. The Installation Wizard detects an existing installation of OpsCenter on the system. For example, the following message may be displayed on the Welcome screen:

    The installer has detected that OpsCenter Server is already installed on your system that will now be upgraded to version.

    Click Next.

  7. Read the license agreement, check I accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next.

    You may opt to check or uncheck Participate in the NetBackup Product Improvement Program. This option is checked by default.

    If this option is checked, OpsCenter will automatically upload installation deployment and product usage information to the OpsCenter development and support teams in a secured manner. This data would be used to guide future product development and also analyze issues. For more information, refer to the About the NetBackup Product Improvement Program section in the NetBackup Installation Guide.

  8. In the Installation Method section, click Typical to use the default settings, installation location, or port numbers. Typical is selected by default.

    Also compare the space that is required for installing OpsCenter server and the actual space that is available.

    Click Next.

    Note:

    The Custom option is disabled when you upgrade from to OpsCenter. You cannot customize the default settings, locations, or port numbers while upgrading to OpsCenter.

  9. Specify a location for saving the old OpsCenter database. The default location is C:\Program Files\Symantec\OpsCenter_SavedData.

    Warning:

    In case of sequential OpsCenter upgrades (for example, version 1 > version 2 > version 3), the old OpsCenter_SavedData folder may already exist. If the OpsCenter_SavedData folder is overwritten during upgrade, the OpsCenter GUI may not start properly. To avoid this problem, you should rename the old OpsCenter_SavedData folder before upgrading to OpsCenter.

    Click Browse to specify a different location.

    In case the directory C:\Program Files\Symantec\OpsCenter_SavedData does not exist, you are prompted to create it. Click Yes to create the directory.

    Note:

    Ensure that the database location has adequate space by going through the Disk space requirements section on this page. A green checkmark appears in the Required column if there is adequate disk space.
