Upgrading OnCommand Performance Manager

These steps shows you how to upgrade from Performance Manager 1.0 to Performance Manager 1.1.

Before you begin

To avoid data loss, you must have created a backup of the Performance Manager virtual machine using a VMware vSphere snapshot in case there is an issue during the upgrade.
You must have the credentials for the maintenance user.
You must have the credentials for the NetApp Support Site at mysupport.netapp.com.
You must have the credentials for accessing the VMware vCenter server and vSphere Client.
You must have upgraded any ESX 4.x servers to ESXi 5, which is required by Performance Manager 1.1.
You must have completed all administrative activities, such as user or cluster management, because Performance Manager is unavailable during the upgrade.
You must have recorded the names of all bookmarked volumes and performance incident IDs, because these bookmarks no longer work after the upgrade.

About this task

CAUTION:

Upgrading Performance Manager can take a few hours because it involves updating all historical performance data. If you upgrade a Performance Manager instance that is older than the 1.0 GA release, all historical data will be discarded.
