command prompt using Run As Administrator, and enter iisreset. If your machine hosts Model
Manager, restart Microsoft IIS as directed before you continue.
14 Click Finish.
15 Verify that all services restarted.
16 Repeat these steps for each IaaS server in your deployment in the recommended order.

All of the selected components are upgraded to the new release.
What to do next
If your deployment uses a load balancer, upgrade each load balancer node to use vRealize Automation 7.1
health checks, and re-enable load balancer trac for any unconnected nodes. If your previous deployment
used a load balanced embedded Postgres, disable all nodes in the Postgres pool because they are not needed
for 7.1. Delete the pool at a convenient time.
