Preparing for the upgrade
Before you upgrade the IMC platform, complete the following tasks:
Obtain the upgrade packages for the IMC platform and all the deployed service components. After the IMC platform upgrade, you must upgrade all the service components.
Back up the IMC installation directory and database files. If the upgrade fails, you can use the backup files to restore IMC.
To back up the IMC installation directory and database files:
Use DBMan in the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent to back up the database files. For more information, see manual backup described in "Backing up and restoring the database."
Stop all IMC processes, and then manually copy the IMC installation directory to a specific path.
