upgrade guide

I currently have RHQ.3.0.0.B03 installed

Is there any guide for upgrading to RHQ.3.0.0.B05?

Also do the agents need to be upgraded when upgrading the server from 3.0.0.B03 to B05?

We are not officially supporting upgrading from beta releases or to beta releases. The database schema upgrades are not guaranteed to work. I'm not sure if database upgrades work from B03 to B05, but you can try it - we should have put the red "developer build disclaimer" on all the Bxx release notes pages, but its only on the early ones like this one here: http://rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Release+Notes+3.0.0.B02

In addition, the general rule is all agents need to be upgraded whenver you upgrade a server. I just added a yellow box blurb at the top here ( http://rhq-project.org/display/JOPR2/Manually+Upgrading+the+Agent ) and here ( http://rhq-project.org/display/JOPR2/Upgrading+the+Server ) to make this clear.

Agents and servers must be at the same version. You can either manually upgrade all your agents or rely on the agent auto-update feature (agents can automatically upgrade themselves when its server has upgraded to a new version). Please see this page to ensure that you install, configure and run your agents so they are prepared to be auto-updatable  when your server is upgraded: http://rhq-project.org/display/JOPR2/RHQ+Agent+Installation#RHQAgentInstallation-PreparingYourAgentToBeAutoUpdatable

To answer this specific question - the wiki has this "Upgrading the Server" page that discusses how to upgrade the RHQ Server:

http://rhq-project.org/display/JOPR2/Upgrading+the+Server

Again, it doesn't address beta releases, but this is the general upgrade guide for RHQ.
