Upgrading Your Failover Service (FOS) Setup

In a failover service set up, with two application servers bound to an MS SQL cluster, only the primary server can be upgraded directly. The secondary server should be reinstalled, and the failover service setup should be reconfigured.

Here are the sequence of steps to be followed:

Deactivating the Failover Service

You can deactivate the failover service either from the primary or the secondary server.Follow the below steps:

  1. Open a command prompt in any of the servers.
  2. Navigate to <PAM360_SERVER_HOME>\bin directory.
  3. Execute the command: UninstallFOS.bat.

Next, uninstall the PAM360 application entirely from the other servers.

Upgrading the Primary Server

You can upgrade your primary installation of PAM360 by following the below steps. The latest upgrade packs are available for download here. You can use the instructions mentioned here to apply the upgrade packs one by one to reach the latest version.

Note: If MS SQL is your back end database, do take a backup before proceeding further. This way, even if something goes wrong, you can immediately revert to the existing version by deleting the PAM360 directory and placing the backup in same location to get your PAM360 instance up and running again.

Steps Required

  1. Stop the PAM360 service and exit the tray icon.
  2. Navigate to <PAM360_Installation_Folder>/bin directory from CMD and execute UpdateManager.bat
    • During MS SQL server configuration for PAM360 database, if you have opted for 'Windows Authentication,' start the command prompt using the service account with which the PAM360 service has been configured to connect to the SQL server (i.e. instead of running as administrator, run as the service account).
    • To identify whether a service account is used or a SQL account is used, navigate to <PAM360_Installation_Folder>/conf directory and open database_params.conf file. If you do not find a username and password in the file, then PAM360 is using Windows Authentication and therefore you need to run the command prompt with service account privilege.
  3. Click Browse, select the .ppm file that you downloaded and Install.
  4. To apply multiple upgrade packs, do the following for each upgrade; exit the Update Manager, start & stop the PAM360 service once, and execute the upgrade steps.
  5. After applying the upgrade packs, start the PAM360 service.

Reinstalling PAM360 on the Secondary Server

After upgrading the primary server to the latest version, reinstall the same version of PAM360 on your secondary server. Check if the existing .ppm file can be applied to your newer version from here. If the secondary .ppm file is applicable, please follow the steps under the previous section and proceed. Else, you will have to reinstall the secondary server.

In short, ensure that both your primary and secondary servers always run the same PAM360 version. You can download the required installation files from the upgrade pack table at the top.

Reconfiguring the FOS Service

After reinstalling the secondary server, perform the steps detailed in the failover service help documentation to configure the failover service in the secondary server again.

 

Application Scaling using MS SQL Server

Upgrading the Main Node

Upgrade your main node of PAM360 by following the below steps. Upgrade your main node first followed by the sub nodes. The latest upgrade packs are available for download here. Use the instructions listed here to apply the upgrade packs one by one until you reach the latest version.

Note: If MS SQL is your back end database, do take a backup before proceeding further. This way, even if something goes wrong, you can immediately revert to the existing version by deleting the PAM360 directory and placing the backup in same location to get your PAM360 instance up and running again.

Steps Required

  1. Stop the PAM360 service and exit the tray icon.
  2. Navigate to <PAM360_Installation_Folder>/bin directory from CMD and execute UpdateManager.bat
    • During MS SQL server configuration for PAM360 database, if you have opted for 'Windows Authentication,' you have to start the command prompt using the service account with which the PAM360 service has been configured to connect to the SQL server (i.e. instead of running as administrator, run as the service account).
    • To identify whether a service account is used or a SQL account is used, navigate to <PAM360_Installation_Folder>/conf directory and open database_params.conf file. If you do not find a username and password in the file, then PAM360 is using Windows Authentication and therefore you need to run the command prompt with service account privilege.
  3. Click Browse, select the .ppm file that you downloaded and Install.
  4. To apply multiple upgrade packs, do the following for each upgrade; exit the Update Manager, start & stop the PAM360 service once, and execute the upgrade steps.

After applying the upgrade packs, start the PAM360 service.

Upgrading Sub Node(s)

After upgrading the main node to the latest version, reinstall the same version of PAM360 on your sub node(s). For the sub node, check if the existing .ppm file can be applied for your newer version from here. If the .ppm file is applicable, please follow the steps given under the previous section and proceed. Else, you will have to reinstall the sub nodes.

In short, ensure that both your main node and sub node always run the same PAM360 version. To download the required installation files, scroll up to the upgrade pack table.
