We are away to upgrade our IG&L Development environment from version 7.1.1 patch 5 to 7.2 patch 1. It is a single node virtual application. In the "RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle Upgrade and Migration Guide", I went to Chapter 7 "Upgrade or Migrate to an RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle Virtual Application".
Right at the start of the chapter it states "To migrate RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle from a software bundle to a virtual application: .........." - which is not what I want. Later on it also mentions restoring IG&L from a software bundle deployment.
So looking for a steer on what procedure to follow for upgrading my host ?
Thanks.
Hey Kevin,
Please dis-regard my previous comment as I've found the statement you were looking at. A note starting at chapter 7 states "Note: Virtual applications are intended to be replaced rather than upgraded within the same OVA. To upgrade
an existing RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle virtual application deployment to a new version, download the
latest OVA from RSA, and complete the following procedures to migrate to the new OVA."
I believe the process is very similar to an actual new IG&L installation via an ova where you will need to go through the RSA IG&L virtual installation wizzard again after loading the V 7.2 ova from VMware esxi. In your case at least, you won't need to do anything on the database level where after IG&L is on V 7.2 and is connected to the db, the UI would prompt you to migrate the database as well.
Anything to add here? Mostafa Helmy
