3 Checklist—before initiating an upgrade to OpenManage
Enterprise
To ensure a smooth upgrade to the new version of the appliance, ensure that the following are available:
• Take a backup or a
VM snapshot of the console, in case something unexpected occurs.
• When upgrading from version 3.0 or version 3.1 by using the Online method, ensure that the proxy
settings are disabled.
• Allocate at least an hour for the upgrade process. Allocate additional time if the upgrade must be
downloaded by using a slower network connection.
• Make sure no device configuration tasks or deployment tasks are running or are scheduled to run
during the planned downtime as any active jobs would automatically be cancelled during upgrade.
• To upgrade to OpenManage Enterprise 3.2.1, you must have a minimum of version 3.0. When
upgrading from a version below 3.0, you must first upgrade to either version 3.0 or version 3.1 by
using the Update Packages available at
