• CA Performance Center 2.4/2.3 or CA NetQoS Performance Center 6.1.205 SP2

When you upgrade the software, you continue to use the same architecture you used for release 9.2.1, as shown in the following list:

• Stand-alone to stand-alone
• Distributed 2-tier to distributed 2-tier
• Distributed 3-tier to distributed 3-tier

CA Network Flow Analysis 9.2.1 is the only software version that you can upgrade directly to release 9.3.0. If you have an earlier version, upgrade to version 9.2.1 before you proceed. For more information, see the CA Network Flow Analysis 9.2.1 Upgrade Guide.

Notes:

• Upgrade CA Network Flow Analysis before any upgrade you make to Performance Center.
• Do not install or upgrade any CA Network Flow Analysis component on a server that has Performance Center installed. You can co-locate the NFA console or stand-alone deployment with CA Anomaly Detector, but not with any other related software.
• If you plan to switch between CA NetQoS Performance Center (NPC) and CA Performance Center (CA PC), unregister before you upgrade CA Network Flow Analysis. Unregister before a switch from NPC to CA PC or a switch from CA PC to NPC.
• Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) is not supported by the Single Sign-On tool.
