Upgrade the Provisioning Server
Important! The Provisioning Server uses an instance of CA Directory to communicate with the Provisioning Directory. Be sure to install or upgrade CA Directory on the Provisioning Server system, using the CA Directory component installer, before upgrading the Provisioning Server.
The component CA Directory installer is located on the CA Identity Manager media, under CADirectory\dxserver.
The Provisioning Server upgrade includes the C++ Connector Server, and also performs all connector upgrades by default.
Note the following when upgrading the Provisioning Server:
- Before upgrading the Provisioning Server, be sure that inbound requests are completed. Use View Submitted Tasks to verify these requests are complete.
- Before installing the Provisioning Server, uninstall and reinstall any alternate Provisioning Directories if they exist. For more information, see the Installation Guide.
- If you have more than one Provisioning Server, upgrade the primary first, then upgrade all alternate Provisioning Servers.
To upgrade the Provisioning Server
- If you're not already in the Upgrade Wizard, run the CA Identity Manager installer from the CA Identity Manager media.
The Upgrade Wizard starts.
- In the Upgrade Wizard, next to Provisioning Server, click Launch Upgrade.
The Provisioning Server upgrade starts. Note the following:
- If you see a Deprecated Connector Warning, be sure to consult the Connectors Guide for migration steps to be completed after the upgrade.
- Choose the Custom setup type when prompted, then select the appropriate Installation Type, depending on which components are installed on the system (Provisioning Server, C++Connector Server, or both).
- You can select a check box during upgrade to indicate 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.
- Go through the wizard and enter the information you collected for the upgrade.
Your Provisioning Server is upgraded.
