Upgrading the management server on Windows systems

You must perform this upgrade on a standalone server system that is outside all clusters and available on the local network. The system must currently host the CommandCentral Availability management server (predecessor to the Cluster Management Console management server). Symantec Product Authentication Service, a shared component, is installed during management server upgrade. If an older version of the service is installed, it is upgraded to the latest version.

 To upgrade the management server on Windows

1. Insert the disc into the drive on the local system.
2. On the distribution disc, locate the \installer directory.
3. Double-click the setup file.

   Depending upon the operating system, you may or may not receive the following warning message:

   The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

   If you receive this message, click Run.

4. In the Welcome to the Veritas Cluster Management Console Installation Manager dialog box, read the introduction and then click Next.
5. In the Installation and Configuration Options dialog box, click Upgrade the management server on the local node and then click Next.
6. In the warning message box, read the information about:
   • Backing up your database using the Settings tab in your current (non-upgraded) console. This task can help to protect your cluster configurations, historical cluster data, and console settings if the upgrade fails or produces unexpected results.
   • Upgrading existing cluster connectors (CommandCentral Availability cluster monitors) to enable cluster management in the upgraded console. The Cluster Management Console cannot manage clusters that currently run cluster monitor until you perform this upgrade.

     Click OK.

7. When prompted, enter the password for the management server service account for cluster connector, CC_CMC@CMC_SERVICES.

   Record the password that you enter in a safe place. You must use it again whenever you install or configure cluster connector.

8. In the Summary dialog box, read the summarized record of the upgrade and then click Next.

   Restoration of databaes on node NodeName complete.

   where NodeName if the name of the system on which are performing the upgrade.

10. Click Finish.
