Upgrade Using the Wizard

This section describes the grid node upgrade using the wizard.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user authorized to install software with write permissions to the target installation directory on the host server.
2. Stop the existing grid nodes.
3. Open the following folders on the CA Configuration Automation installation media: dvd1, CCA, Gridnode, Windows, and then double-click one of the following files:
   • installgridnode.exe (32-bit operating systems)
   • installgridnode64.exe (64-bit operating systems)

   The installation program starts, then the Introduction screen appears.

4. Click Next.

   The License Agreement screen appears.

5. Read the agreement, scroll to the bottom, select I Accept the Terms of the License Agreement, and then click Next.

   The Choose Installer Folder screen appears. The screen displays the path to the existing grid node. If you installed the grid node in the default location, the Detected Local Installations field for displays C:\Program Files\CA\CCA Grid Node.

6. Ensure the path in the Choose a Destination Folder for this Installation field matches the path in the Detected Local Installations field, then click Next.

   Note: If you enter a different path for the destination folder, you will perform a "clean" installation instead of an upgrade.

   The Windows Service Configuration screen appears.

   You cannot edit the fields on this screen.

7. Click Next.

   The Database Server screen appears.

   You cannot edit the fields on this screen.

8. Click Next.

   The Database Information screen appears.

9. Enter the following information in the corresponding field, then click Next:

   Database User Password

   Specifies the password for the CA Configuration Automation Database user specified in the previous, read-only field.

   One of the following screens appears:

   • Agents Installers Folder—If you are not running the installation from the DVD, this screen prompts you for the location of the CA Configuration Automation Agent installation programs. Continue with step 9.
   • Pre-Installation Summary—If you are running the installation from the DVD, the installation program can locate the agent installation programs. Skip to step 10.
10. Enter the location of the CA Configuration Automation Agent installation programs, then click Next.

    The installation program copies the agent installers to the grid node host. When the CCA Server assigns the grid node to remotely install a CA Configuration Automation Agent, the grid node uses this location to start the agent installation program.

    The Pre-Installation Summary screen appears.

11. Review your entries, then click Install.

    The install begins and when it is finished, the Install Complete page appears and confirms the CA Configuration Automation Grid Node installed successfully.
