Upgrade server?

I cannot seem to find an article on just upgrading the server side of this.
Maybe I'm not understanding everything correctly as well.  :)

We just have a server (running 2.0M2) that we use to monitor some network equipment via SNMP.
We aren't currently monitoring any servers at the moment.

First off I'm not exactly sure what I need to download to do the upgrade.  Is it the Management Console Binaries, Server Binaries, or Agent Package?  Do I also need to download the WEb Interface Binaries if we use the NetXMS website to monitor?

Then how exactly do I upgrade everything?

Thanks.

Hi,

there is installation guide, outdated, but still mostly valid: https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Server_Installation_Guide. Check upgrade section. If you monitor only SNMP devices, then you don't need agent packages. You'll have to download appropriate server package and upgrade server. Then you'll need new managemet console (if you are using desktop version) and/or new web UI package if you are using it.

Best regards,
Victor

Victor, I've followed that guide and the DB checks all passed.
I then downloaded the 2.0 RC1 server install file and ran the /SILENT install (also tried without /SILENT) and I keep getting an error when trying to replace a .dll file:

QuoteAn error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:

Access is denied.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this File (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.

Hi,

in most cases it is hold by mmc.exe because it contains message catalog that is used by event log viewer. Try to ensure that all mmc instances (or any other process that possibly reading event log) are stopped.
