Upgrade CA Directory

Upgrade the CA Directory server before you upgrade other servers in your deployment. If you have multiple CA Directory Servers in a high availability environment, upgrade the primary CA Directory first.

Follow these steps:

1. SSH into the machine to be upgraded.
2. Verify that a backup of the /tmp/properties.sh file from the previous version exists.
3. Unzip the new kit for the machine being upgraded into the root file system folder. For example, enter the following commands:

   cd /
   

   unzip -o CAM-DIR_kit-version.zip
   

4. Update the /tmp/properties.sh file in the kit with information from the backup version of properties.sh:
   1. Diff the back file of the previous install and /tmp/properties.sh by entering the following command:

      Note: The following command assumes backup files are located in the /serverkit folder.

      diff -y /serverkit/properties.sh /tmp/properties.sh
      

   2. Make appropriate changes to the /tmp/properties.sh file as required.
5. Run the upgrade by entering the following commands:

   cd /opt/CA/saas/repo/application/
   

   ./appliance_local.sh   config
   

   Note: If this directory has a file named upgradeBackupList.sh, it will have an environment variable named BACKUP_LIST. This variable is an array of file names that will be backed up before the upgrade, and then restored after the upgrade. You may add or remove file names from this list as necessary.

Verify the upgrade:

Verify All DSA’s are running by entering the following commands:

su - dsa

dxserver status

exit
