Upgrade OVM Manager 3.2.8 and Server 3.2.8

**Make sure  you upgrade OVM Manager before Upgrading OV Server. **
** Make sure you get a back up from existing  Manager  **
** Do all stuff as root user**

First of all you need to back up the existing Oracle Virtual Manager  configuration file and Database schema
In my case the meta data db was MySQL Which is deployed in the same server.schema name as OVS.

The Oracle VM Manger configuration file location is

/u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config


 then perform backup.

Backups can be performed manually or automatic

Automatically performed backs up are located in

/u01/app/oracle/mysql/dbbackup

Back Up  is performed automatically every 24 hours. 
 there you  could see last 21 backup.


Manually backing Up

run the following script.
/u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/bin/createBackup.sh








Please enter the Oracle VM manager user password:
INFO: Succesfully backed up database as AutoFullBackup-20140506_112035


Now  you can see this folder





Now you Can Upgrade the Oracle VM Manager.

Post Upgrade steps

After finishing upgrade,Please run the following command  on the server where oracle VM installed.
