Upgrading Server Inventory

Before you upgrade from ZfS 2 or ZfS 2 SP1 to ZfS 3.0.2 Server Inventory, perform the following tasks:

• If you want to manage the existing ZfS servers, make sure that you have made a reliable backup of the existing ZfS ConsoleOne.
• Make sure that you have made a reliable backup of the ZfS 2 Inventory database.
• Understand the new ZfS 3.0.2 Server Inventory features. For more information, see What's New in Server Inventory.
• Make sure that the recommended ZfS 3.0.2 Server Inventory system requirements are met. For more information, see Meeting Server Inventory Requirements.
• Review the instructions in the Planning Your Installation section.

The ZfS 3.0.2 Server Inventory installation program will automatically upgrade an existing ZfS Inventory server to ZfS 3.0.2 Inventory server and also the ZfS ConsoleOne snap-ins to ZfS 3.0.2 ConsoleOne snap-ins. For more information on installing ZfS 3.0.2 Server Inventory, see Installing Server Inventory on NetWare and Windows Servers.

IMPORTANT:  The existing ZfS Inventory database cannot be migrated to the ZfS 3.0.2 database.

When the ZfS 3.0.2 Inventory Agent is installed on the inventoried server, the existing ZfS Inventory Agent is uninstalled. If the existing ZfS Inventory Agent is not uninstalled, you need to manually uninstall it.
