Upgrade from Version 1.2 and Earlier

On this page

Overview

Because of a company name change, the name of the Ops Manager package changed between versions 1.2 and 1.3. Therefore, to upgrade from any version before 1.3, use the following procedure.

Ops Manager 1.8 supports direct upgrades only from version 1.5 and later. To upgrade from version 1.2 or earlier to 1.8, you must:

  1. Upgrade to version 1.5 or 1.6, as described here.
  2. Upgrade to 1.8 using the procedure for your operating system. See Upgrade Ops Manager.

Procedure

  1. Recommended. Take a full backup of the MMS database before beginning the upgrade procedure.

  2. Shut down MMS, using the following command:

    copy 
    /etc/init.d/10gen-mms stop

  3. Download the Ops Manager 1.5 or 1.6 package from the downloads page and proceed with the instructions for a fresh install. Do not attempt to use your package manager to do an upgrade.

  4. Follow the procedure for a new install, including steps to configure the conf-mms.properties file. If you used encrypted authentication credentials you will need to regenerate these manually. Do not copy the credentials from your old properties file. Old credentials will not work.

  5. Start Ops Manager using the new package name.

    For upgrades using rpm or deb packages, issue:

    copy 
    sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb-mms start

    For upgrades using tar.gz or zip archives, issue:

    copy 
    <install_dir>/bin/mongodb-mms start

  6. Update the Monitoring Agent. See Install Monitoring Agent for more information.
