To Upgrade Multiple Instances of Access Manager 7 2005Q4 With Directory Server Configured For Multi-Master Replication

This procedure assumes two instances of Directory Server.

Before You Begin

Follow the instructions in OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Preliminary Upgrade Steps and Collecting Data Required for Upgrade to complete the preliminary steps.

1. Modify the configuration for the first Access Manager instance so that it points to the second Directory Server instance rather than the first Directory Server instance.

2. Restart the first Access Manager instance.

   The first Access Manager instance will continue handling requests while you upgrade the other Access Manager instances in the deployment.

3. Upgrade all other instances of Access Manager sequentially using the following sub procedure.

   1. Disable the Access Manager instance in the load balancer.

      Requests will no longer be routed to this instance.

   2. Upgrade the Access Manager instance as described in Upgrading to OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0.

   3. Disable Directory Server MMR in the first instance of Directory Server.

   4. Update the schema for the first Directory Server instance as described in Upgrading the Existing Access Manager or Federation Manager Schema.

   5. Restart the upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instance.

   6. Enable the upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instance in the load balancer.

      Requests once again will be routed to this instance.

4. Upgrade the first Access Manager instance.

   1. Disable the first Access Manager instance in the load balancer.

      Requests will no longer be routed to this instance.

   2. Upgrade the first Access Manager instance as described in Upgrading to OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0.

   3. Enable Directory Server MMR in the first instance of Directory Server.

      The schema for the second Directory Server instance is now updated to the OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 schema (as well as any other Directory Server instances).

   4. Restore the configuration of the first upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instance to point to the first Directory Server instance.

   5. Restart the first upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instance.

   6. Enable the first upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instance in the load balancer.

   Requests will be routed through the load balancer to all upgraded OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 instances in the deployment, using the upgraded schema in Directory Server.
