Chapter 1 Upgrading, Downgrading, Backing Up and Restoring Software Files : Overview

Overview
Your P-7500 system is shipped with preloaded default TIBCO Messaging Appliance software. As future releases of TIBCO Messaging Appliance software become available, you can save these new software releases to a remote server on your network and subsequently install them to the P-7500 systems on your network. Alternately, you can downgrade to previous versions of TIBCO Messaging Appliance software installed on the P-7500 system, or rollback to the previous TIBCO Messaging Appliance software that was running before the last upgrade was performed.
Backup and restore of configuration database files allows you to recover from hardware or software failures with minimal loss of management data. You can also use backup and restore to move configuration database files from one P-7500 system to another, for example, to facilitate hardware upgrades.
Software Restrictions for Multiple P-7500 Systems
When multiple P-7500 systems are running on a single network, the TIBCO Messaging Appliance software on each device must not differ by more than major or minor level. The Rendezvous network continues to operate with mixed TIBCO Messaging Appliance versions up to one major or minor version difference in a deployed network.
Also, features available to devices running newer TIBCO Messaging Appliance releases do not work with devices running older releases that do not support those features.
