How the r12.0 SP1 Migration Works

To migrate 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 r12.0 SP1 environment and detail the order in which existing components are upgraded.

Note: Each figure depicts a single policy/key store. Your environment can use separate policy and key stores.

r12.0 SP1 migration example

  1. In stage one, an r12.0 SP1 Policy Server is upgraded. The r12.0 SP2 Policy Server operates in compatibility mode. Consider the following:
  2. In stage two, an r12.0 SP1 Web Agent is upgraded to r12.0 SP2.
  3. In stage three, the remaining Policy Server is upgraded to r12.0 SP2. The r12.0 SP2 Policy Servers operate in compatibility mode with the r12.0 SP1 policy and key store.
