Upgrade to the Current Release › Upgrade a Cluster Node

Upgrade a Cluster Node

When you upgrade a clustered Orchestrator, you upgrade one node at a time, beginning with any node in the cluster.

Follow these steps:

1. Log onto the host on which a cluster node is installed.
2. Browse to the Domain Orchestrator URL (the load balancer for the Domain Orchestrator, if clustered).
3. Log in, click the Configuration tab, and then click the Installation palette.
4. Under Install Cluster Node for Orchestrator, click Install to begin the upgrade.
5. The language selection dialog appears first. Click OK.
6. Click Next to the Welcome to the CA Process Automation 3rd Party Installer Setup Wizard page.
7. For License Agreement, select I accept the terms of the license Agreement and then click Next.
8. On the Select Destination Directory page, navigate to the directory you used for the previous release. For example, in Windows, the following are defaults, depending on the source release.

   C:\program files\ca\itpam
   

   C:\program files\ca\pam
   

9. Click through the following Wizard pages:
   • Prerequisites for A Process Automation installation - invokes installation.
   • Completing the CA Process Automation Setup Wizard with Use Domain selected - Click Finish

     Wait until the next page appears. There is no visual indicator of the processing that precedes the display of the next page.

    1. If you have already upgraded a node in this cluster, select from the Orchestrator drop-down list the Orchestrator node that you upgraded first.
    2. Type node1, node2, node3, or node4 in the Load Balancer Worker Node field to identify the node you are upgrading.
12. Type your company name, if not displayed
13. Enter the certificate password.

    Important! This entry must match the certificate password that was entered when the Domain Orchestrator was upgraded.

14. Click through the following pages, if they appear. Settings used by node1 are used by other nodes in the cluster.
