Option Action
To specify your Microsoft SQL
Server database
If you are upgrading the Model Manager Data, enter the names of the
database server and database instance in the Server text box in the
Microsoft SQL Server Database Installation Information section. Enter a
fully qualied domain name (FQDN) for the database server name in the
Database name text box.
If the database instance is on a non-default SQL port, include the port
number in the server instance specication. The Microsoft SQL default port
number is 1433.
When upgrading the manager nodes, the MSSQL SSL option is selected by
default. If your database does not use SSL, uncheck Use SSL for database
connection.
10 Click Next.
11 Conrm that all services to upgrade appear on the Ready to Upgrade page, and click Upgrade.
The Upgrading page and a progress indicator appear. When the upgrade process nishes, the Next
buon is enabled.
12 Click Next.
13 Click Finish.
14 Verify that all services restarted.
15 Repeat these steps for each IaaS server in your deployment in the recommended order.
16 After all components are upgraded, log in to the management console for the appliance and verify that
all services, including IaaS, are now registered.
All of the selected components are upgraded to the new release.
What to do next
If your deployment uses a load balancer, upgrade each load balancer node to use vRealize Automation
health checks, and re-enable load balancer trac for any unconnected nodes. If your previous deployment
used a load balanced embedded PostgreSQL database, disable all nodes in the PostgreSQL pool because
they are not needed. Delete the pool at a convenient time.
