About OpsCenter upgrade scenarios with respect to OpsCenter AT
Table: OpsCenter upgrade scenarios describes various scenarios of OpsCenter upgrade:
Table: OpsCenter upgrade scenarios
Which installation scenario? | Which additional tasks are required? | What happens after the installation? |
---|---|---|
Fresh OpsCenter installation |
None |
The installer installs OpsCenter AT on the OpsCenter server host OpsCenter uses its own OpsCenter AT for user authentication Note: If OpsCenter is deployed in a clustered mode, each OpsCenter node has OpsCenter AT configuration of its own. Each cluster node has embedded AT binary and all nodes share the same AT configuration and authentication data exists on a shared disk. |
Upgrade to OpsCenter: Non-clustered setup and shared AT in previous OpsCenter version |
None |
The installer installs OpsCenter AT on the OpsCenter server host OpsCenter uses its own OpsCenter AT for user authentication The shared AT broker's data store is imported to OpsCenter AT broker's data store Only OpsCenterUsers(vx ) domain users are imported to OpsCenter AT All credentials of PureDisk and NBAC-enabled NetBackup are imported from remote AT to OpsCenter AT All imported OpsCenterUsers(vx ) users can logon to OpsCenter after the installation.
|
Upgrade to OpsCenter: Non-clustered setup and remote AT in previous OpsCenter version |
Pre-upgrade tasks: Export the shared AT broker's data to an XML file using the atutil utility See Exporting authentication settings. Note: While copying the exported xml file, the DOS to UNIX conversion may be improper that may result in garbage characters in the xml file. This may cause failure of import. To avoid this, copy the xml file through FTP and with binary format. Upgrade tasks: During OpsCenter upgrade, when prompted, import this XML file to add the authentication settings from the shared AT to OpsCenter AT See About importing authentication settings during OpsCenter upgrade. Post-upgrade tasks: If the import is not successful, the default OpsCenter user needs to reset the passwords of OpsCenterUsers(vx) domain users that you have imported from the earlier OpsCenter version. Trust between NBAC-enabled NetBackup / PureDisk servers and OpsCenter server need to be established again. See Setting up trust between OpsCenter and NBAC-enabled NetBackup or PureDisk. |
