Upgrading the CDP from 7.7.x and 7.8.x to 7.9.00 with ASSO
The topic describes how to use the GUI installation program to upgrade a configuration distribution peer (CDP). During a CDP upgrade, you can also upgrade the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel.
Note
If you are installing a non-English version of the Operator Control Panel, you must install it separately from the CDP. You must install the non-English OCP and CDP on separate Tomcat servers.
Before you begin
- You must have upgraded the repository.
- BMC Atrium Single Sign-On and the repository must be running.
- You must have shut down the CDP service and it is recommended that you shut down the OCP (see Starting and stopping product components and services).
- You must have downloaded the installation files from the BMC EPD website.
- You must be logged in as an administrator and have administrator rights for the computer that contains the CDP.
- You must have completed the upgrade worksheets to record any changes to your system settings (CDP worksheet for upgrades from 7.7.x and 7.8.x to 7.9.00 with ASSO, Operator Control Panel worksheet for upgrades from 7.7.x and 7.8.x to 7.9.00 with ASSO).
- If you are installing on a Windows computer, ensure that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is configured to recognize the installation program executable (see Configuring DEP on Windows computers before upgrades).
- Ensure that you have made copies of server.xml and broker-config.xml files and stored them in a safe location (see Backing up server.xml and broker-config.xml files).
- If you are upgrading on a Linux computer, run the rngd service to ensure that the system has adequate entropy (Run the rngd service on Linux computers before upgrades).
- You must have exited all other programs.
Note
If you run into any issues related to integrating with Atrium Single Sign-On or registering agents after an upgrade, see Troubleshooting BMC Atrium Single Sign-On problems for more information.
