How to Upgrade Existing Agents

To preserve your existing settings, you can upgrade an existing agent using the interactive installation program or using the command-based silent installer. If you are upgrading multiple agents, the silent installer may save you time.

Note: You can upgrade an r7.0 agent to r11.3.

To upgrade an existing agent, follow these steps:

1. Convert the existing agentparm.txt file to r11.3 using one of these methods:
   • Convert the agentparm.txt file using an interactive program.
   • Convert the agent parm.txt file using a silent installer.
2. (Optional) Upgrade the agent to r11.3 by configuring the agentparm.txt file for the following features:
   • JMX connector
   • SNMP connector
   • Strong encryption
   • Encryption standard FIPS 140-2
