If your V7.3.1 installation of the Web GUI runs on an instance of Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2 you can perform an inplace upgrade.
Before you begin
Ensure all fix packs are applied to V7.3.1. Ensure that the
Web GUI installation package that you use to perform the upgrade has
the required bitness. For example, if you want to upgrade from a 7.3.1
installation that is in a 64-bit environment, you need the 64-bit
Web GUI installation package. If you want to upgrade from a V7.3.1
installation that is in a 32-bit environment, you need the 32-bit
installation package.
About this task
Note: This procedure assumes
that the Web GUI and the Tivoli Integrated Portal are installed in their default locations. If your installation
uses different locations for either or both components, adjust these
instructions accordingly.
Procedure
To perform the inplace upgrade:
- Ensure that you have applied all the available fix packs
to the Web GUI and the Tivoli Integrated Portal.
- Ensure that all users are logged out of the Web GUI.
- Stop the server.
- Back up the existing installation:
- Use tar or a similar
archiving tool to create backup copies of the following directories
and all their subdirectories in the specified file:

to back up on UNIX and LinuxDirectory |
Backup filename |
opt/IBM/tivoli/netcoool/omnibus_webgui |
webgui.tar |
opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2 |
tipv2.tar |
opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2Components |
tipv2Components.tar |
- Use a suitable archive utility to create .zip files of the following folders and all their subfolders
in the specified file:
Table 2. Directories to back up on WindowsDirectory |
Backup filename |
C:\IBM\tivoli\netcool\omnibus_webgui |
webgui.zip |
C:\IBM\tivoli\tipv2 |
tipv2.zip |
C:\IBM\tivoli\tipv2Components |
tipv2Components.zip |
For example the following command backs
up the omnibus_webgui directory. Use a similar
command for the other directories.tar cvf webgui.tar
opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus_webgui
- Back up the Deployment Engine (DE):
- Depending on whether the DE was installed
as root or non-root, back up the following directories and all their
subdirectories to the specified file.

non-root |
userhome/.acsi_username Replace userhome with the home directory of the non-root user and username with the user name of the non-root user
|
acsi_username.tar Replace username with the user name of the
non-root user.

- Use a suitable archive utility to create .zip files of the following folder and all their subfolders
in the specified file.

acsi.zip |
- Copy all .tar or .zip files to a secure place.
- Install Web GUI V7.4 into the same directory as the V7.3.1 instance. The installation program upgrades the Web GUI and ensures that all existing data is carried over to
the new version. If you use the GUI installer, you are asked to confirm
that you have backed up all of the directories listed above.
