Upgrade the controller component

The controller component upgrade is a major upgrade. Any existing properties are backed up and added to the new properties file.

If you are using a Linux™ operating system and are upgrading from IBM® Endpoint Manager for Remote Control version 9.0.1 or earlier, edit the trc_controller.cfg.rpmnew file. Compare the property values in the file with the values in the trc_controller.cfg file. Merge the differences into the trc_controller.cfg file and save the file.

Any of the following methods can be used to upgrade the controller component:

Using the installation files: For more information about obtaining the component installation files, see Obtain the installation files. For more information about installing the controller component on a Windows™ system, by using the installation files, see Installing the controller on a Windows system. For more information about installing the controller component in a Linux system, by using the installation files, see Installing the Linux controller.
Using the IBM BigFix console: If you have the IBM BigFix console infrastructure installed, you can use the update fixlet to upgrade the controller component. For more information about using the update fixlet, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Console User's Guide.
