Upgrading Unified Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS

You can upgrade Unified Manager when a new version of software is available.

Patch releases of Unified Manager software, when provided by Lenovo, are installed using the same procedure as new releases.

If Unified Manager is paired with an instance of Workflow Automation, and there are new versions of software available for both products, you must disconnect the two products and then set up a new Workflow Automation connection after performing the upgrades. If you are performing an upgrade to only one of the products, then you should log into Workflow Automation after the upgrade and verify that it is still acquiring data from Unified Manager.

  • Upgrading Unified Manager
    You can upgrade from Unified Manager 9.6 or 9.7 to 9.8 by downloading and running the installation file on the Red Hat platform.
  • Upgrading the host OS from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x to 8.x
    If you previously installed Unified Manager on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x system and need to upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x, you must follow one of the procedures listed in this topic. In both cases you must create a backup of Unified Manager on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x system, and then restore the backup onto a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x system.
