Upgrade issues with Enterprise-AR and Cloud-AR
This topic describes issues you may encounter during the Enterprise-AR and Cloud-AR upgrade. Internal and external customers have sometimes encountered portmapper issues with the AR System server that caused the upgrade to fail, especially with a upgrade in a Staged environment with cloned VMs. The installer planner has an AR dependency that fails to stop the AR services.
To work around this issue
- Gracefully exit the installer planner.
- Revert the Enterprise-AR or Cloud-AR VM to the last saved snapshot.
- Re-launch the installer planner.
- Run through the upgrade prompts.
- When you reach the Installation Preview panel for the Enterprise-AR or Cloud-AR:
- Go to the Enterprise-AR or Cloud-AR VM.
- Stop the AR System Portmapper and the BMC Remedy Action Request System Server services.
- Return to the Installation Preview panel, review the Enterprise-AR Server information, and then click Install.
The upgrade should be successful.
- Continue with the Enterprise-AR or Cloud-AR upgrade, for example, upgrading Atrium Core.
