Updating Your Software 9
You can update your existing vRealize Operations Manager deployments to a newly released version.
When you perform a software update, you need to make sure you use the correct PAK le for your cluster. A
good practice is to take a snapshot of the cluster before you update the software, but you must remember to
delete the snapshot once the update is complete.
If you have customized the content that vRealize Operations Manager provides such as alerts, symptoms,
recommendations, and policies, and you want to install content updates, clone the content before
performing the update. In this way, you can select the option to reset out-of-the-box content when you
install the software update, and the update can provide new content without overwriting customized
content.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Obtain the Software Update PAK File
Each type of cluster update requires a specic PAK le. Make sure you are using the correct one.
Download the Correct PAK files
To update your vRealize Operations Manager environment, you need to download the right PAK le for the
clusters you wish to upgrade. Notice that only the Virtual Appliance clusters use an OS Update PAK le.
Host name entries in the /etc/hosts of each node might be reset when applying the OS update PAK le for
an update from vRealize Operations 6.0.x to version 6.1. You can manually update the hosts le after
completing the software update.
