Policy Server and CSP Console Prerequisites

Repeat these steps to upgrade each SiteMinder Policy Server and the CSP console. These steps identical if you are upgrading a Disaster Recovery site.

Follow these steps:

  1. SSH into the system to be upgraded.
  2. Install the 32-bit version of the libXrender.so.1 Linux package.
  3. Navigate to this directory. 
    /opt/CA/saas/repo/application/

    If this directory has an upgradeBackupList.sh file, it includes a BACKUP_LIST environment variable. This variable defines files that are backed up before the upgrade and restored after the upgrade. You can add or remove file names from this list as necessary.

  4. Verify that a backup of the /tmp/properties.sh file from the previous version exists. The properties.sh file is replaced when you unzip the kit. Therefore, make a backup now if no backup copy exists.
  5. Unzip the Policy Server kit into the root file system folder. For example: 
    cd /
unzip -o CAM-SMPS_kit-version.zip
  6. Copy the following kits to /root directory.
  7. If you are following this procedure to upgrade the CSP console, copy the following kit to the /root directory: 
    jboss-eap-5.1.2.zip
  8. Update the /tmp/properties.sh file in the kit with information from the backup version of properties.sh:
    1. Diff the original properties.sh file and the /tmp/properties.sh file by entering the following command: 
      diff /serverkit/properties.sh /tmp/properties.sh
    2. Modify the following properties to match the following lines: 
      JAVA64_KIT=/root/jdk-7u40-linux-x64.tar.gz; export JAVA64_KIT
JAVA32_KIT=/root/jdk-7u40-linux-i586.tar.gz; export JAVA32_KIT
_jce_zip_file=/root/UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip; export _jce_zip_file
    3. If you are using JBOSS 5.1.2 EAP, download JBPAPP-8693.zip from the JBoss site. Enter the location of the ZIP file followed by an export command. For example: 
      JBOSS_EAP_PATCH="/root/JBPAPP-8693.zip"; export JBOSS_EAP_PATCH
    4. If you are following this procedure to upgrade the CSP console, add one more property: 
      JBOSS_KIT="/root/jboss-eap-5.1.2.zip"; export JBOSS_KIT
    5. Define _ps_ha_hosts.

      For a high-availability deployment, do not include the host name on which you are currently installing. Enter the host name where you installed the first SiteMinder Policy Server.

      Note: If you have three or more instances of SiteMinder Policy Server, separate the entries with commas. For example: PolicyServer2, PolicyServer3.

      If you configured load balancing for the Policy Server at the application tier, set _ps_ha_hosts to the Policy Server load balancer VIP.
