Performing a direct upgrade of the backup master domain manager and its database

Performing a direct upgrade of the backup master domain manager from v 9.5.0.x to v 10.1.0.x

About this task

Upgrade a backup master domain manager from v 9.5.0.x v 10.1.0.x by running the serverinst script.

Procedure

  1. Log in as root or Administrator to the workstation where you plan to install.
  2. Download the installation images from HCL License Portal.
  3. Browse to the folder image_location>/TWS/interp_name.
  4. If possible, stop both master domain manager and backup master domain manager.
    If this is not possible, launch the configureDB script at a time when the server components are processing a low workload. If the configureDB script should fail because of conflicts with the server components, restart the script.
  5. To update the database version, run the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript configureDb.vbs --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./configureDb.sh --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
  6. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript serverinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./serverinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR

    where INST_DIR is the directory where the component is installed. To find out the installation directory, see Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances.

    Note: The acceptlicense and inst_dir parameters are required. All other parameters are ignored by the serverinst command, except for the following two optional parameters: lang and skipcheckprereq.
  7. To align the database tables, run the following command: 
    planman resync
    Note: Before running the "planman resync" command, check to see if batchman process is up and running. If batchman is down, then run the "conman start" command. If batchman is down, then planman resync remains in hang status.
  8. To link all fault-tolerant agents, type the following command: 
    conman "link @!/@/@ "

What to do next

You have now successfully upgraded the backup master domain manager. You can now proceed to configuring the security, if this was not done in the 9.5.0.x installation. For more information, see Configuring security. If the security is already configured, you can proceed to Switching the master domain manager to the upgraded backup master.
