    /opt/Omnibus/bin/solaris2/nco_pad
        root 16956 16904  1
    14:41:48 ?        0:00
    /opt/Omnibus/probes/solaris2/nco_p_syslog
     
    

You have completed the Cisco Info Mediator component upgrade from Version 1.1 to 1.2

Step 16 Restart the $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_pad process on the Cisco Info Mediator host machine(s).

Step 17 After restarting the process in Step 16, Make sure the Info Mediator processes are running:

host% /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep nco

Any of the Info Center processes, as shown below, may be running depending on your configuration:

    root 16905 16904 72 14:40:01?        1:26
    /opt/Omnibus/bin/solaris2/nco_objserv
    -name INFOSERVER -pa NCO_PA
    -paaware 10 -
        root 16955 16904  1
    14:41:48 ?        0:00
    /opt/Omnibus/probes/solaris2/nco_p_rttrapd
    -rtmmanagerhostaddr
    171.71.29.155 -r
        root 16954 16904  1
    14:41:48 ?        0:00
    /opt/Omnibus/probes/solaris2/nco_p_nnm5
        root 16904     1  0
    14:40:01 ?        0:00
    /opt/Omnibus/bin/solaris2/nco_pad
        root 16956 16904  1
    14:41:48 ?        0:00
    /opt/Omnibus/probes/solaris2/nco_p_syslog
    

Note The sequence in which you perform the above steps is very important. If you do not shut down the Info Mediators before upgrading, the Info Mediators enter "store and forward" mode during the Cisco Info Server upgrade. The Info Mediators then attempt to send all stored alarms to the Cisco Info Server once the Cisco Info Server and Info Mediators are restarted. This results in a number of "message with invalid column count" errors in the Cisco Info Server's log file. Although the Cisco Info Server should discard these alarms, this situation should be avoided so as to prevent any possible corruption to the Cisco Info Server database.
