42 OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide
If you are running a domain profile that implements the firewall setting with a Group Policy, the
rules added by the OMNM installer may be overridden.
Prepare to upgrade your OMNM version on a Windows system as follows.
1 Back up the database to another machine and any other resources that need manual
installation. The backup is stored in the
installPath /backup.sql directory. See Upgrading from
a Previous Version
on page 39 for more specifics.
2 Make sure that you export the system settings if you modified the default settings.
3 End SNMP service from the Task Manager if it is running.
This service causes a port 161 conflict during installation, which must be resolved before
continuing.
Now you are ready to get started
Running the Installer .
Running the Installer
Run the installer as follows.
NOTE:
The installer automatically stops the Application and Web servers during an upgrade.
1
Download the OMNM package to your local host in a temporary location.
2 Start the installer:
win_install.exe
The install files are automatically extracted and the installation wizard begins.
3 Accept the license agreement to start the upgrade process.
4 Answer each prompt appropriately.
If you did not backup your database before starting the update, you are given one more
chance to do so. The database backup is stored in the
installPath \backup.sql file. For example:
installPath \OpenManage\Network Manager\backup.sql
If you elect not to rebuild the database, the update still re-seeds the system settings.
If you encounter port conflicts, resolve them before continuing.
The servers automatically start when the update finishes. You may need to reboot the server if
your performance monitor information does not appear.
If you are running either MySQL or Oracle as your database on a separate server, you must
also run
dbpostinstall on the (primary) Application server before starting your system.
If your upgrade fails, see the db_setup.log, install.log, or app_setup.log file in the destination
directory for messages that may help fix the failure.
