Upgrading in a Hyper-V on-prem Environment

Warning

Before starting your upgrade make sure that all prerequisites have been met.

Upgrade steps

The following steps walk you through upgrading the EPM Server within your Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure:

  1. Within Microsoft Hyper-V upload the EPM Server ISO file into the same storage location as the other files belonging to the virtual appliance you are upgrading.

    Note

    Ensure you retain the ISO file version number in the filename for future reference and to easily identify what version is running.

  2. Right-click the virtual appliance to be upgraded and select Turn Off... .
    Power off

  3. Wait for the EPM Server to shut down, then right-click the virtual appliance and select Settings... .
    Edit Settings

  4. Select the DVD Drive and click the BROWSE... button.
    Edit Settings Menu

  5. Select the new EPM Server ISO from the datastore and click Open. The image file now points to the new EPM Server version.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Right-click the virtual appliance and select Start. The EPM Server will now boot and apply the updates.

  8. Wait while the configuration has been applied and the virtual appliance is rebooted. The upgrade is now complete.

  9. Check the version number in the Configuration tab of the EPM Management Interface to confirm your upgrade.

  10. Take a VM level backup of the upgraded EPM Server.

Next steps

Once the EPM Server has been successfully upgraded, the EPM Client should be upgraded.

If the client update feature has been enabled then the user will get a prompt to upgrade the PAM Client when they next attempt to elevate an application or gain temporary admin access.

Note

The Client Updating setting can be found on the Management Interface > Configuration > EPM Client page.

Otherwise, update the EPM Client as per your preferred method.
