Support Package: Upgrading Software Packages

Upgrade the software packages with the IA tool. Start with the database packages, and as they are not included in the system model, do not perform steps 2 and 7.

1. Start the IA tool, and connect to the system. To make sure that the new software version is available, choose Deployment > Refresh Local System.

2. Set the role of the virtual unit(s) that are updated as Inactive.

3. Right-click the first virtual unit, select the Change Base Installation... option, and select the base installation you created when you copied the support package on your computer (7.0.x).

4. Repeat the procedure on all virtual units.

5. Right-click Virtual Units in the tree and choose Synchronize Instances. This advances new changes to all HAC nodes where the changed software package has instances.

6. Select the Software > Apply All Changes to Host options.

   Note:

   If the Standard Reports package is installed in the same virtual unit as the reporting website, upgrading the Standard Reports package fails in this step as the package requires that the web site is running. After the next step (activating the virtual units), right-click the Standard Reports package and select the Upgrade Software option.

7. Set the role of the virtual unit(s) Active.

8. Update all instances of the upgraded virtual units on each server.
