To upgrade a SiteMinder deployment with multiple Policy Servers and Web Agents, remove one of the Policy Servers and Web Agents from the SiteMinder environment. While these components are being upgraded, the remaining Policy Servers and Web Agents continue to protect your resources.
Continue removing and upgrading SiteMinder components until all components are upgraded or operating in mixed–mode compatibility.
The following figures illustrate a simple r6.x environment and detail:
Note: Each figure depicts a single policy store. This policy store includes the key store. Your environment can use separate policy and key stores.
The existing r6.x policy store schema has not changed. The r12.5 migration requires that you extend the policy store schema for policy store for objects that r12.5 requires.
If you have deployed a smkeydatabase, extend the policy store schema before upgrading your first Policy Server. Extending the schema prepares the policy store for the smkeydatabase migration to the certificate data store during a Policy Server upgrade. Extending the schema does not affect compatibility mode. The policy store continues to function as it did in r6.x.
If you have not deployed a smkeydatabase, extend the schema as part of the policy store upgrade process.
Important! If the migration of the smkeydatabase fails, do not return the Policy Server to the environment. Returning the Policy Server after a failed migration causes all transactions that require the certificate data to fail.
Note: You cannot configure a new r12.5 agent with an r12.5 Policy Server until the policy store is upgraded to r12.5.
Important! Although all Policy Servers continue to protect resources and you have access to the Policy Server Management Console, you cannot administer the Policy Servers. The Policy Server installer removed the Policy Server User Interface during the upgrade. You cannot manage policy information in the policy store until you have installed the r12.5 Administrative UI. Account for this time as you plan your migration.
Note: For more information about installing the Report Server, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.
