Execute the NetIQAdminInstallationKit.msi to extract the DRA installation media and install and run the Health Check Utility.
Ensure you plan your deployment of DRA before you begin the upgrade process. As you plan your deployment, consider the following guidelines:
Test the upgrade process in your lab environment before pushing the upgrade out to your production environment. Testing allows you to identify and resolve any unexpected issues without impacting daily administration responsibilities.
Review Required Ports and Protocols.
Determine how many assistant administrators rely on each MMS. If the majority of your assistant administrators rely on specific servers or server sets, upgrade those servers first during off-peak hours.
Determine which assistant administrators need the Delegation and Configuration console. You can obtain this information in one of the following ways:
Review which assistant administrators are associated with the built-in assistant administrator groups.
Review which assistant administrators are associated with the built-in ActiveViews.
Use Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting to generate security model reports, such as the ActiveView Assistant Admin Details and Assistant Admin Groups reports.
Notify these assistant administrators about your upgrade plans for the user interfaces.
Determine which assistant administrators need to connect to the primary Administration server. These assistant administrators should upgrade their client computers once you upgrade the primary Administration server.
Notify these assistant administrators about your plans for upgrading the Administration servers and user interfaces.
Determine whether you need to implement any delegation, configuration, or policy changes before beginning the upgrade process. Depending on your environment, this decision can be made on a site-by-site basis.
Coordinate upgrading your client computers and your Administration servers to ensure minimal downtime. Be aware that DRA does not support running previous DRA versions with the current DRA version on the same Administration server or client computer.
IMPORTANT:
If your previous DRA version has the Account and Resource Management (ARM) console installed, the ARM console will be removed during the upgrade.
When you upgrade the DRA Server from a DRA 9.x version, it removes any managed tenants from DRA. To continue using these tenants using Azure, you need to add the tenants after upgrade. For information about adding tenants, see Creating an Azure Application and Adding an Azure Tenant
in the DRA Administrator Guide.
Because Exchange 2010 it is not supported in DRA 10, Exchange gets disabled when upgrading from DRA 9.x. To continue to perform Exchange operations after upgrade, disable and re-enable the Enable Exchange Policy option in the Delegation and Configuration Console. Both changes need to be “applied” to reset the policy.
For information on this policy configuration, see Enabling Microsoft Exchange
in the DRA Administrator Guide.
