Step 3: Upgrade all agents to V1.1.1 (optional)

Shows the schematic representation of the environment to be migrated, with the version 1.1 agent at the version 1.1.1 runtime server highlighted.

Once its runtime server is at V1.1.1, an agent can be migrated to V1.1.1, as well. You are advised to do this, to maximize the functionality of the server (an upgraded agent offers more functionality) and to avoid that older agents become inactive when you upgrade their runtime server to V2.1. However, this step is not obligatory at this point. You must migrate agents prior to version 1.1, as they are not compatible with any components of V2.1.

Choice: what is the best way to migrate older (pre-V1.1.1) agents to V1.1.1?

There are two ways of migrating an older (pre-V1.1.1) agent to V1.1.1:

Instructions for migrating agents are provided in the documentation for V1.1.1.

Attention: Make sure to read the V1.1.1 Release Notes (the version issued in December 2003) for instructions on how to avoid the "agent out-of-sync" situation when upgrading agents to V1.1.1.
