b Disable all other Web sites and non-primary Manager Services for load balancer traffic.
2 Right-click the [e-mail] setup file and select Run as
administrator.

If Upgrade is not selected, the components on this system are already upgraded to this version.

Option Action
If you are upgrading the Model
Manager Data
Select the Model Manager Data check box in the vCAC Server section.
The check box is selected by default. Upgrade the Model Manager data only
once. If you are running the setup file on multiple machines to upgrade a
distributed installation, the Web servers stop functioning while there is a version
mismatch between the Web servers and the Model Manager data. When you
have upgraded the Model Manager data and all of the Web servers, all of the
Web servers should function.
If you are not upgrading the Model
Manager Data
Unselect the Model Manager Data check box in the vCAC Server section.
To preserve customized workflows as
the latest version in your Model
Manager Data
If you are upgrading the Model Manager Data, select the Preserve my latest
workflow versions check box in the Extensibility Workflows section.
The check box is selected by default. Customized workflows are always
preserved. The checkbox determines version order only. If you used vRealize
Automation Designer to customize workflows in the Model Manager, select this
option to maintain the most recent version of each customized workflow before
upgrade as the most recent version after upgrade.
If you do not select this option, the version of each workflow provided with
vRealize Automation Designer becomes the most recent after upgrade, and the
most recent version before upgrade becomes the second most recent.
For information about vRealize Automation Designer, see Life Cycle Extensibility.
