Upgrading only the DCA Index Server

1. Copy the installation file to an appropriate location on the computer where you are upgrading the portal. 

   • Windows: the installation file is called BTD22.WIN64.zip.
     In versions earlier than 2.2.01, the file is called BLPortal22.WIN64.zip.

   • Linux: the installation file is called BTD22.LIN64.tar.gz.
     In versions earlier than 2.2.01, the file is called BLPortal22.LIN64.tar.gz.

2. Extract the contents of the installation file. 
   This extraction generates a file structure where the top level directory is named BladeLogicPortal.

3. Navigate to the installer program and launch it.

   • Windows: Navigate to \BladeLogicPortal\windows\Disk1, right-click setup.exe, and select Run as Administrator.

   • Linux: Change (cd) to BladeLogicPortal/linux/Disk1 and enter the command ./setup.bin

     Note

     For Linux, make sure BladeLogicPortal/linux/Disk1/setup.bin has execute permissions. If necessary, run the following command to grant execute permission on the file: 
     chmod +x BladeLogicPortal/Disk1/setup.bin

     The portal installer program opens.

     

4. Select the language you want to use in the installation program and click OK.
   A welcome window opens. 
   
5. In the welcome window, click Next. 
   A license agreement window opens.
   

6. To accept the license agreement, select I agree to the terms of the license agreement and click Next.
   The Select Product features window opens. 
   
   

7. Select only Upgrade DCA Indexing Server. Deselect the other options, and click Next.
   A window outlining special precautions you should take prior to upgrading appears. For this upgrade, ensure that you take a snapshot of the VM or backup the physical server(s) where the Bladelogic Portal and the DCA Indexing Server are running. 

8. Click Next.
   A preview window describes the installation to be performed.
   
   

9. Click Install.
   Progress bars show installation activity until the Installation Summary window provides details about the completed upgrade.
10. Click Done.

Troubleshooting the upgrade

If you encounter problems while upgrading the portal, see Troubleshooting an installation or upgrade.

Where to go next

Set up a backup procedure for the DCA Indexing Server. If BladeLogic Portal was already installed and you have just installed another instance, you must be certain that each instance has an identical backup configuration.

If you want to disable HTTP traffic with the DCA Indexing Server, see Disabling or enabling HTTP traffic with the DCA Indexing Server. 

If you are using roles with a limited set of permissions for Data Refresh, see Configuring Data Refresh.

When those tasks are complete, see Configuring after installation.
