5480/installer/, the host name of the vRealize Automation appliance.
2 Click database upgrade scripts from the list of options under IaaS Installation.
3 Extract the contents of the DBUpgrade.zip archive le to a local folder on the vRealize Automation
database host, or to another location with network access to the database host.
4 In an elevated Windows command prompt window, set your current directory to the folder where you
extracted the contents of the DBUpgrade.zip archive le.
5 Enter a DBUpgrade command string in the following format, recognizing that the command options are
case-sensitive.
DBUpgrade [-S dbserver[,port number][\SQLinstance]] [-d dbname] [-N] [{-E | -U username}] [-
l logfilepath]
Option Description
-S dbserver [,portnumber]
[\SQLinstance]
Identies the database server instance by server name, port number and
SQL instance name.
Allowable values for dbserver are localhost or a fully qualied domain
name for the database server.
If you are using an SQL port number other than the default, 1433, you
must specify the port number as part of the FQDN. If no port number is
specied, the 1433 port is used.
If you are using a named SQL instance, specify the instance name. If no
name is specied, the default, unnamed SQL instance is used.
-d dbname
Identies the vRealize Automation database dbname.
-N
Species that a secure database connection be used. If your SQL server is
congured to accept a secure connection, you can use this option to
upgrade the database.
-E

database and connects using the Windows credentials of the user who is
running the command.
