Upgrading From OpsMgr 2007 R2 To OpsMgr 2012

If you have already imported the Dell Server Management Pack Suite version 5.1 Management Packs on your system

and then upgraded to OpsMgr 2012, the Chassis and DRAC monitoring feature will be automatically upgraded in the next

Feature Monitoring Pack discovery cycle. During this upgrade, Chassis Monitoring and DRAC Monitoring Management

Packs specific to OpsMgr 2007 R2 will remain along with the just imported OpsMgr 2012 specific Chassis Monitoring and

DRAC Monitoring Management Packs.

CAUTION: Close or resolve all the Chassis and DRAC alerts before upgrading to OpsMgr 2012. It is recommended

to take a backup of Chassis monitoring and DRAC monitoring override references for Custom Group and Instance

Level override as those overrides may be lost during the upgrade.

In OpsMgr 2012, the Network Monitoring Stack has been upgraded, to use the new Network Monitoring features in

OpsMgr 2012, it is recommended to re-discover the Dell devices using the new OpsMgr 2012 Network Device Discovery

Wizard. After the Chassis Monitoring and DRAC Monitoring features have been upgraded in OpsMgr 2012, it is

recommended to:

• Remove the Chassis and DRAC devices that are under Legacy Network Devices.

• Rediscover the Chassis and DRAC devices as nodes. For more information, see technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/

hh278846.aspx.

• Remove the Dell CMC (OM07) MP and Dell DRAC (OM07) MP files from OpsMgr 2012 as the functions of these MPs

are performed by Dell CMC (OM12) MPs and Dell DRAC (OM12) MPs in OpsMgr 2012.

For details on how to upgrade from OpsMgr 2007 R2 to OpsMgr 2012, see technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/

hh476934.aspx.

NOTE: To make sure that the feature management workflows are functioning at an optimal level, restart the root

management server after upgrading to OpsMgr 2012.

Upgrading From OpsMgr 2012 To OpsMgr 2012 SP1

You can upgrade from OpsMgr 2012 to OpsMgr SP1. Upgrading to OpsMgr 2012 SP1 will not impact the existing Dell

Server Management Pack Suite features and functionalities. For more information on OpsMgr SP1 setup, see

Prerequisites.

NOTE: You cannot upgrade to OpsMgr 2012 SP1 from OpsMgr 2007 R2. To upgrade to OpsMgr 2012 SP1, you must

first upgrade from OpsMgr 2007 R2 to OpsMgr 2012. For information about upgrading from OpsMgr 2012 to OpsMgr

2012 SP1, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj899854.aspx.
