N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Installation Guide

Upgrading Windows Master Servers

The Master Server application is not upgraded like most software is upgraded. Rather, the new version of the Master Server is installed on the same system as the previous version of the Master Server. Then, the data is migrated from the previous version of the Master Server to the new version of the Master Server.

ProcedureHow to Install A Side-by-Side Windows Master Server

You must follow the instructions below to install a 4.1 version of the Windows Master Server on the same machine as the 4.0 version of the Master Server.

Steps

  1. Stop the 4.0 Master Server by using the Service application in the Windows Administrative Tools to stop the IPC Daemon service.

  2. Set the 4.0 Master Services to start manually, specifically the IPC Daemon and Server.

  3. Install the 4.1 version of the Master Server by following the instructions in How to Install the N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Master Server on Windows.

    Install the 4.1 version of the Master Server with ownership by the same user and group that owns the 4.0 version of the Master Server.

    Note –

    Only one version of the Master Server can be running on a system. You can start and stop the Master Servers by using the Service application in the Windows Administrative Tools to stop or start the IPC Daemon service.

  4. Migrate the data from the 4.0 version of the Master Server to the 4.1 version of the Master Server.

    To migrate the data, follow the instructions in How to Migrate Data on a Windows Master Server.

  5. (Optional) Uninstall the 4.0 version of the Master Server.

    You can uninstall the 4.0 version of the Master Server if you do not want to use it by following the instructions in Uninstalling Applications on Windows Systems.

ProcedureHow to Migrate Data on a Windows Master Server

Migrating data from the 4.0 version of the Master Server to the 4.1version of the Master Server deletes any data in the 4.1 version of the Master Server. The migration script stops both versions of the Master Server until the script completes the migration. The Master Servers will be unavailable for the duration of the migration.

Before You Begin

Follow the instructions in How to Install A Side-by-Side Windows Master Server to install the N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Master Server on the system where the previous version of the Master Server is installed. Both the 4.0 and the 4.1 versions of the Master Server must be installed on the same system before you begin the migration procedure.

Steps

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Change to the C:\Program Files\N1 Service Provisioning System\4.1\server\bin\migrate directory.


    cd C:\Program Files\N1 Service Provisioning System\4.1\server\bin\migrate

    C:\Program Files\N1 Service Provisioning System\4.1\ is the directory in which you installed the Master Server.

  3. Begin the migration by typing:


    .\cr_migrate.cmd

  4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the migration.

    When the migration is complete, the following message appears. 


    Master Server migration completed successfully.
    Note –

    The listener port numbers for the Postgres database, Web Interface, and the Master Server are not migrated. The N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Master Server uses the port numbers that you supplied during installation.

  5. Check the log file for any errors that might have occurred during migration.

    The migration script displays the location of the log file.
