Upgrade the Provisioning Directory

As of CA Identity Manager r12.5, CA Directory no longer uses Ingres as a data store. Instead, a new memory-mapped file technology named DXgrid is used. For Provisioning to work with CA Identity Manager, upgrade the Provisioning Directory schema and CA Directory.

Note: If you want to install your Provisioning Directory on a new system, migrate the Provisioning Directory instead of performing an upgrade.

To upgrade the Provisioning Directory

1. If you have primary and alternate Provisioning Directories, back up your primary Provisioning Directory.
2. Shut down all Provisioning Directories in your environment.
3. Stop Ingres with the following command:

   ingstop –service(or ingstop -kill)
   

4. Verify that all of the following Ingres processes are stopped:
   • dmfacp.exe
   • dmfrcp.exe
   • iidbms.exe
   • iigcc.exe
   • iigcn.exe
   • iijdbc.exe
   • iistar.exe
5. Restart Ingres with the following command:

   ingstart –service
   

6. Verify that the Provisioning Server and Connector Server services are stopped.
7. Run the CA Identity Manager installer from the CA Identity Manager media.

   The Upgrade Wizard starts.

8. In the Upgrade Wizard, next to Provisioning Directory, click Launch Upgrade. If you have more than one Provisioning Directory, this step applies only to the primary Provisioning Directory.

   The Provisioning Directory upgrade wizard starts.

   Note the following:

   • Due to architectural changes effective in CA Directory r12 SP1 and higher, reporting databases and unnecessary DSAs are removed before the CA Directory upgrade. Once the CA Directory upgrade completes, the Provisioning Directory upgrade resumes.
   • If you are installing the Provisioning Directory in an FIPS 140-2 enabled environment, select the FIPS 140-2 Compliance mode check box during installation and provide the FIPS Key File.
   • During CA Directory installation, you are asked for information about installing DXadmind for DXManager, however, you can safely uncheck this option. The Provisioning Directory does not use DXManager.
9. Go through the wizard and enter the information you collected for the upgrade. Select a Typical installation type when prompted during the CA Directory upgrade.

   The Provisioning Directory and CA Directory are upgraded.

Note: You can select a check box during upgrade to configure Provisioning Directory high availability. If you choose this option, you must supply the hostnames of any alternate Provisioning Directories and specify the primary Provisioning Directory. When the upgrade completes, uninstall and reinstall any alternate Provisioning Directories. For more information, see the Installation Guide.

After the upgrade completes, you can find CA Directory documentation in the following locations:

• Windows: Go to Start, Programs, CA, Directory, Documentation.
• Unix: Navigate to /opt/CA/Directory/doc.
