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.
If you are upgrading a Distributed
Execution Manager or a proxy agent
Enter the credentials for the administrator account in the Service Account section.
All of the services that you upgrade run under this account.
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 qualified 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 specification. 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.
