Reference or Additional Steps |
---|---|---|
1. |
Upload and back up all Metasys Server and network engine archive databases to the existing SCT. Make sure you select the Include Security option for the upload. |
Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization of SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) or the SCT Technical Bulletin (LIT-1201534) for the release you have currently installed (not the new release). |
2. |
Forward all trend samples from each network engine to the Metasys Server Site Director by using the Route Samples command at each engine. This step ensures that the Site Director has all possible samples before you begin the upgrade. Wait a few minutes to ensure that all samples have been forwarded. |
Refer to Metasys Site Management Portal Help (LIT-1201793) for information about the Route Samples command. |
3. |
Stop the Metasys III Device Manager service on the Metasys Server computer. This action prevents the collection of any new audits, alarms, trends, and annotations while you perform the upgrade. If the customer can accept the loss of data samples during an upgrade, you can skip to the next step. |
Right-click the Windows taskbar and start Task Manager. Click the Services tab. Locate a service called Metasys III Device Manager. Select this service and right-click and select Stop Service. The Metasys III Device Manager service stops. |
