Update 5.5.5 to 5.6.0
This page describes how to update Service Impact 5.5.5 to 5.6.0. For earlier releases, use a different procedure.
The following list outlines recommended best practices:
-
Verify that Resource Manager is running normally. The update procedures stop, start, or restart specific services, but the required starting point is Resource Manager running normally.
-
Export service models. Exporting before an update provides a quick restore option if the update fails. If necessary, you can uninstall, remove the ZenPack, install the working version, and then import the service models.
-
Review the release notes for this release before proceeding. The latest information is provided there.
-
Use screen, tmux, or a similar program to establish sessions on the Control Center master host. If you become disconnected, the commands you initiate will continue to run.
-
Review the procedures in this section before performing them. Every effort is made to avoid mistakes and anticipate needs; nevertheless, the instructions may be incorrect or inadequate for some requirements or environments.
Download required files
To perform this procedure, you need:
