Agents

Unsupported agents
With V2.1 some agent platforms are no longer supported. However, as the V1.1.1 agents are compatible with V2.1 runtime servers, you can continue using these agents. Their functionality is at V1.1.1 level.
Communication method:
In V1.1.1, SSL could only be enabled between the runtime server and the administration server. In V2.1, SSL can not only be configured in both directions between the administration and runtime servers, but also between the agent and the runtime server. In addition, you can use SSL from any Web server used to access the GUI.

At migration, all agents will be set to not use SSL. All divisions will be set to inherit the choice about SSL from the organization and all organizations will be set to not use SSL for agents.

To do, after migration
Follow the configuration instructions in IBM Tivoli License Manager: Planning, Installation, and Configuration, version 2.1, if you want to use SSL between the agents and the runtime server.
Platform:
In V2.1 there are new values for the platform field in the NODE table. The migration appends the old platform field to the text in the description field in the same table, and platform is cleared. It will be automatically repopulated when the version 2.1 agent for that node plugs in.
