Upgrading the IaaS Server
Components Separately If the
Update Process Fails 5
If the automatic update process fails, you can upgrade the IaaS components separately.
If the vRealize Automation IaaS Web site and Manager Service successfully upgraded, you can run the
IaaS upgrade shell script again without reverting to the snapshots you took before the upgrade.
Sometimes a pending reboot event generated while upgrading multiple IaaS components installed on the
same virtual machine can fail the upgrade. In this case, try manually rebooting the IaaS node and
rerunning the upgrade to fix the problem. If the upgrade fails consistently, contact VMware support or
attempt a manual upgrade by following these steps.
1 Revert your vRealize Automation appliance to its pre-update state.
2 Run a command to exclude the IaaS components from the update process. See Exclude
Management Agents from Upgrade.
3 Run the update process on the vRealize Automation appliance.
4 Update the IaaS components separately using the Upgrade Shell Script or the vRealize Automation
7.3 IaaS installer msi package.

Upgrade IaaS Components Using the Upgrade Shell Script
After Upgrading the vRealize Automation Appliance
Use the upgrade shell script to upgrade the IaaS Components after you update each
vRealize Automation 7.1, 7.2 appliance to 7.3 or after you update each vRealize Automation 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
appliance to 7.3.1.
The updated vRealize Automation appliance contains a shell script that you use to upgrade each IaaS
node and component.
