4.7 Upgrading the Identity Manager Node to Identity Manager 3.6.1

Identity Manager 3.6.1 supports the 64-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux operating system. You can upgrade to 3.6.1 on 32-bit or 64-bit platforms:

4.7.1 Upgrading to 32-Bit Identity Manager 3.6.1

On a 32-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux operating system, you can install the 32-bit version of Identity Manager 3.6.1 to automatically upgrade Identity Manager to the latest version. You must stop the BCC drivers, but it is not necessary to re-create them.

Repeat the following steps for the Identity Manager node in each peer cluster of the business continuity cluster:

  1. Before you upgrade to 32-bit Identity Manager 3.6.1, stop the BCC drivers.

  2. Install 3.6.1 on a 32-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux operating system to upgrade Identity Manager from 3.6 to 3.6.1.

  3. Restart the BCC drivers in Identity Manager.

4.7.2 Upgrading to 64-Bit Identity Manager 3.6.1

There is no in-place upgrade of the OES 2 SP1 operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit. The upgrade from 32-bit Identity Manager 3.6 to 64-bit Identity Manager 3.6.1 requires a rebuild of the 64-bit cluster node to install the 64-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux operating system and the Identity Manager and iManager software components. You must re-create the BCC drivers.

Repeat the following steps for the Identity Manager node in each peer cluster of the business continuity cluster:

  1. Before you upgrade to Identity Manager 3.6.1, save the BCC driver configuration information, then stop the BCC drivers.

  2. On a 64-bit machine, reinstall the operating system with the 64-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux, then install Identity Manager 3.6.1 and iManager 2.7.2 on the system as described in Section 4.1.7, Identity Manager 3.6.x Bundle Edition.

  3. Re-create the BCC drivers in Identity Manager.

    For information about creating drivers, see Section 6.0, Configuring the Identity Manager Drivers for BCC.
