20.5 Using the Configurator Tool to Update Resource Pool Data on the Cloud Manager Application Server

After all Orchestration grids (also known as Cloud Manager Zones) are upgraded, you can use the Cloud Manager Application Server configurator utility to perform a VMware resource pool ID data upgrade. If an Orchestration grid (zone) has not been updated or if the grid is inaccessible to the Cloud Manager Application Server, the IDs stored in the Application Server for the resource pools belonging to that Cloud Manager Zone are not upgraded. You can upgrade the data later, if you choose to, when the zone has been updated with the Orchestration upgrade.

We recommend that you upgrade your Orchestration Server grids (that is, Cloud Manager “zones”) as soon as possible in order to avoid unexpected behavior.

To run the Application Server upgrade for resource pool data:

  1. Ensure that the Cloud Manager service is running.

  2. At the Application Server command line, run /opt/netiq/cloudmanager/configurator/config.

  3. Select NetIQ Cloud Manager - Upgrade Resource Pools and deselect all other options.

  4. Follow the prompts in the utility until the script is complete.

If any zones were not upgraded in the Orchestration Server correctly or if other problems occur, the configurator utility notifies you of the problem.
