13 Click Save.
14 Repeat steps 11-13 for each tenant and identity provider.
After upgrading all vRealize Automation nodes, login to each tenant and navigate again to
Administration > Directories Management > Identity Providers . Each identity provider should
have all vRealize Automation connectors added to it.
For example, if your deployment has two vRealize Automation appliances, the identity provider
should have two connectors added to it.
Migrate Multiple Tenant and IaaS Administrators
If you have multiple vRealize Automation 6.2.x tenants and IaaS administrators, use the tenant migration
tool to migrate your tenant administrators into your newly synchronized vsphere.local tenant. Otherwise,
you can manually add them to the vsphere.local tenants.
Procedure
1 Login to the management console of the master vRealize Automation appliance you just upgraded.
2 Select the vRA Settings > SSO tab.
3 Right-click Identity Stores Migration Tool and select Copy Link Address.
4 Login to your 6.2.x SSO virtual appliance with SSH .
5 Enter a command of the form wget --no-check-certificate <URL_address> to download the
migration zip file.
For example,
wget -no-check-certificate https://vahostname.vcac.local:
5480/service/cafe/download/vra-sso-migration.zip
6 Unzip the migration file into a folder.
unzip vra-sso-migration.zip
7 Change directory to bin.
cd bin
8 Edit the migration.properties file in the bin folder to change the value of property
vra.system.admin.username from administrator to administrator@vsphere.local with the full address
including tenant extension.
9 Enter the command ./reassign-tenant-administrators to migrate your tenants and IaaS
administrators to your newly synchronized vsphere.local tenant.
Even if you see your tenant users assigned in your tenant prior to running this command, you need to
run this command to register your users in Horizon to obtain full tenant administrator privileges.
10 Log in to the vRealize Automation appliance default tenant as tenant administrator and for each
tenant verify that under the Administrators tab you can see the list of migrated tenant administrators.
