16 Upgrading Oracle Adaptive Access Manager High Availability Environments

This chapter describes how to upgrade Oracle Adaptive Access Manager high availability environments to 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) on Oracle WebLogic Server.

Note:

Before proceeding, check if your existing Oracle Adaptive Access Manager version is supported for high availability upgrade. For more information on supported starting points for high availability upgrade, see Section 1.5, "Supported Starting Points for Upgrading High Availability Environments".

This chapter includes the following sections:

16.1 Understanding Oracle Adaptive Access Manager High Availability Upgrade Topology

Figure 16-1 shows the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager cluster set up that can be upgraded to 11.1.2.2.0 by following the procedure described in this chapter.

Figure 16-1 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager High Availability Upgrade Topology

Description of Figure 16-1 follows
Description of "Figure 16-1 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager High Availability Upgrade Topology"

The host OAAMHOST1 contains the following:

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_SERVER1 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server application (OAAM_SERVER).

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_OFFLINE1 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Offline Server application (OAAM_OFFLINE).

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_ADMIN1 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Admin application (OAAM_ADMIN).

  • A WebLogic Server Administration Server. Under normal operations, this is the active Administration Server.

The host OAAMHOST2 contains the following:

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_SERVER2 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server application (OAAM_SERVER).

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_OFFLINE2 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Offline Server application (OAAM_OFFLINE).

  • An Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Server WLS_OAAM_ADMIN2 that hosts Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Admin application (OAAM_ADMIN).

  • A WebLogic Server Administration Server. Under normal operations, this is the passive Administration Server. You make this Administration Server active if the Administration Server on OAAMHOST1 becomes unavailable.

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers WLS_OAAM_SERVER1 and WLS_OAAM_SERVER2 hosting Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server application on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 are configured in a cluster named OAAM_SERVER_CLUSTER, to work in active-active mode.

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers WLS_OAAM_OFFLINE1 and WLS_OAAM_OFFLINE2 hosting Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Offline Server application on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 are configured in a cluster named OAAM_OFFLINE_CLUSTER, to work in active-active mode.

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers WLS_OAAM_ADMIN1 and WLS_OAAM_ADMIN2 hosting Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Admin application on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 are configured in a cluster named OAAM_ADMIN_CLUSTER, to work in active-active mode.

Task No Task For More Information

1

Review the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager high availability upgrade topology, and identify OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 on your setup.

See, Understanding Oracle Adaptive Access Manager High Availability Upgrade Topology

2

Shut down the Administration Server and all the Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

See, Shutting Down Administration Server and Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2

3

Back up the existing environment.

See, Backing Up the Existing Environment

4

Update the binaries of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager on OAAMHOST2.

See, Updating Binaries of WebLogic Server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager on OAAMHOST2

5

Upgrade OAAMHOST1 to 11.1.2.2.0. This is the host with active Administration Server running on it.

See, Upgrading OAAMHOST1 to 11.1.2.2.0

6

Start the WebLogic Administration Server and the Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

See, Starting Administration Server and Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2

16.3 Shutting Down Administration Server and Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2

Before you begin the upgrade process, you must stop the WebLogic Administration Server and all of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 in the following order:

  1. Stop the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers on both OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

  2. Stop the WebLogic Administration Server on OAAMHOST1.

For information about stopping the Managed Server, see Section 2.8.1, "Stopping the Managed Server(s)".

For information about stopping the Administration Server, see Section 2.8.2, "Stopping the WebLogic Administration Server".

16.4 Backing Up the Existing Environment

After stopping all the servers, you must back up the following before proceeding with the upgrade process:

  • MW_HOME directory (Middleware home directory), including the Oracle Home directories inside Middleware home on both OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

  • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Domain Home directory on both OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

  • Following Database schemas:

    • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager schema

    • IAU schema, if it is part of any of your Oracle Adaptive Access Manager schemas

    • MDS schema

    For more information about backing up schemas, see Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide.

16.5 Updating Binaries of WebLogic Server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager on OAAMHOST2

Before you upgrade OAAMHOST1 that hosts Administration Server, you must upgrade the binaries of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager to 10.3.6 and 11.1.2.2.0 versions respectively on OAAMHOST2. To do this, complete the following steps on OAAMHOST2:

  1. Updating Oracle WebLogic Server Binaries to 10.3.6

  2. Updating Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Binaries to 11.1.2.2.0

16.5.1 Updating Oracle WebLogic Server Binaries to 10.3.6

Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.2.2.0 is certified with Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6). Therefore, if your existing Oracle Identity Manager environment is using Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.5 or the previous versions, you must update the Oracle WebLogic Server binaries to 10.3.6 by completing the following steps:

  1. Download the WebLogic 10.3.6 Upgrade Installer from Oracle Technology Network.

    For more information, see "Downloading an Upgrade Installer From My Oracle Support" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

  2. Run the Upgrade Installer in graphical mode to upgrade your WebLogic Server.

    For more information, see "Running the Upgrade Installer in Graphical Mode" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

16.5.2 Updating Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Binaries to 11.1.2.2.0

To update the existing Oracle Adaptive Access Manager binaries to Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11.1.2.2.0, you must use the Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) Installer. During the procedure, specify the location of your existing Middleware Home. This upgrades the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager binaries 11.1.2.2.0.

For information about updating Oracle Adaptive Access Manager binaries to 11.1.2.2.0, see Section 2.4, "Updating Oracle Identity and Access Management Binaries to 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0)".

16.6 Upgrading OAAMHOST1 to 11.1.2.2.0

After you upgrade the binaries of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager on OAAMHOST2, you must upgrade OAAMHOST1 which has the active Administration Server. Upgrading OAAMHOST2 to 11.1.2.2.0 includes the following important tasks:

  • Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server to 10.3.6.

  • Upgrading the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager binaries to 11.1.2.2.0.

  • Upgrading the database schemas.

  • Upgrading Oracle Platform Security Services.

  • Redeploying applications.

The procedure to upgrade OAAMHOST1 depends on your starting point.

16.7 Starting Administration Server and Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2

Start the WebLogic Administration Server and the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2 in the following order:

  1. Start the WebLogic Administration Server on OAAMHOST1.

  2. Start the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers on OAAMHOST1 and OAAMHOST2.

For more information about starting the WebLogic Administration Server, see Section 2.9.2, "Starting the WebLogic Administration Server".

For more information about starting the Managed Servers, see Section 2.9.3, "Starting the Managed Server(s)".
