■
Event Management installed from the current or previous CA Common Components
DVD is IPv6 compliant. Previous releases of Event Management (installed from a
source other than the CA Common Components DVD) are not IPv6 compliant.
■
During the common components upgrade on Windows, if SSA or any other
application using SSA is active, the upgrade fails to change any SSA related binaries
or libraries and you may have to restart your computer to complete the common
components upgrade. If you must restart your computer, the installer displays the
option to restart your computer during the common components upgrade. You can
select to restart your computer immediately or later.
Highly Available Installations
On UNIX, you must change all the common component resources to be offline on the
current node prior to installing, reinstalling, or upgrading the common components or
any CA Technologies products that use the common components on that same node.
Pending File Operations
During the common components installation on Windows, the installation process may
recognize that one or more files are in use and prompt for a system restart so that those
files can be replaced automatically by the system during the restart. However, in some
cases a system restart may not be necessary for CA and third-party software to continue
to function properly, even though pending file operations have been scheduled. In
addition, some pending file operations will be scheduled by the common components to
avoid the need for a restart. For example, some files are placed temporarily in the
Windows directory so that they are present in the system PATH for the Microsoft
Windows Service Control Manager. In these cases, you will not be prompted to restart.
Other software products, such as Microsoft SQL Server, may detect pending file
operations and will not let their installations to proceed until the system is restarted,
even though those pending file operations do not affect them. A message similar to the
following may appear:
A previous program installation created pending file operations on the installation
machine.
You must restart the computer before running setup.
This message does not indicate an error condition. To proceed with that application's
installation, you must manually initiate a system restart.
