Upgrade Paths¶
The version of your existing Ops Manager installation determines the upgrade path you must take to upgrade to Ops Manager 4.0 or later.
Important
- You must follow the upgrade path for your existing version to perform necessary database migrations.
- To protect your data, Ops Manager refuses to start direct upgrades from versions 1.8.x and 2.0.x to version 3.4 or later.
- In high availability environments, you must shut down every Ops Manager application server before starting any Ops Manager application servers upgraded to the new version.
The following table lists upgrade paths for all versions:
Existing Version | Upgrade Path |
---|---|
4.0.x | Use this tutorial to upgrade from Ops Manager 4.0.x to a more recent 4.0.x version. |
3.6.x | Use this tutorial to upgrade from Ops Manager 3.6.x to version 4.0.x. |
3.4.x | Use the v3.6 upgrade tutorial to upgrade from Ops Manager 3.4.x to version 3.6.x. |
2.x or earlier | Use the v3.4 upgrade tutorial to upgrade from Ops Manager 2.x or earlier. |
There are no supported downgrade paths for Ops Manager.
Important
It is crucial that you back up the existing conf-mms.properties
and gen.key
files because the upgrade process will delete
existing data.
