Operations Center allows upgrading one server at a time while continuing to provide access to the Operations Center product.
We advise that you transition to Operations Center 5.0 quickly, within several days to a few weeks. You should not maintain a mixed version environment for an extended period of time.
Table 4-1 describes how you can upgrade to the next version of Operations Center software based on your environment and the number of Operations Center servers.
