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 le 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  versions check box in the Extensibility Workows section.
The check box is selected by default. Customized workows are always
preserved. The checkbox determines version order only. If you used
vRealize Automation Designer to customize workows in the Model
Manager, select this option to maintain the most recent version of each
customized workow before upgrade as the most recent version after
upgrade.
If you do not select this option, the version of each workow 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 qualied 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 specication. 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.
