7.3 Running the Cloud Manager Configuration Script

When you have successfully installed the new Cloud Manager 2.1.5 package, you can configure that package by running the Cloud Manager configuration script. The upgrade installer saves all current configuration data. You can use this configuration data to facilitate a system recovery.

Use the following procedure to run the configuration program:

  1. At the command line, run the following command:

    /opt/netiq/cloudmanager/configurator/config

    The configurator script recognizes that a new version of Cloud Manager is installed and prompts with the following text:

    Welcome to the NetIQ Cloud Manager configuration utility.
     
        One or more products on this system require an upgrade.
     
        Select whether to perform the required upgrade to an existing configuration
        (upgrade), or to run the new install configuration (install) for a product.
     
    u) upgrade
    i) install
    - - - - - -
     
    Selection [upgrade]:
    
  2. Specify u to indicate that this is an upgrade for Cloud Manager, then press Enter.

  3. Specify the name of the PostgreSQL administrator., then press Enter.

    This must be the same Postgres user name that you specified in the previous Cloud Manager installation.

  4. Specify the password for the Postgres administrator, then press Enter.

    This must be the same Postgres password that you specified in the previous Cloud Manager installation.

  5. (Conditional, if you have backed up the Postgres database, as explained in Backing Up the PostgreSQL Database). Specify yes to indicate that you have backed up the Postgres database, then press Enter.

  6. After the configuration summary is displayed, specify yes to start the configuration process.

You can start Cloud Manager Services when the configuration process is complete.

NOTE:If you start Cloud Manager services after you have upgraded the package but before you have configured the upgrade, Cloud Manager displays an error.

The settings you specify in the configuration file are recorded in /etc/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/netiq_cloudmanager_config.conf. You can find a log file of the actual configuration process at /var/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/logs/netiq_cloudmanager_config.log.

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

The Cloud Manager configurator utility performs a VMware resource pool ID data upgrade after all Orchestration grids (also known as Cloud Manager Zones) are upgraded. 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.
