[Deactivated User]

We are planning to upgrade our environment containing CA suite from vApp 14.1 to 14.3.  Could you please share any upgrade documents or initial planning strategies or experiences that you faced during this upgrade.

Thanks

Thank you for sharing the URL of documentation.

As per my understanding, we do not require or add any product licensing upon upgrade or while upgrading from 14.1 -> 14.3 version of vApp and respective components. Can you also help me if there are other opinions.

Thanks in advance,
Tanu Goyal

That is correct, there are no licenses required for product upgrades.

Thanks for the information.

In our environment, all the components are 14.1 and we are migrating vApp to 14.3 but CA directory is at version 12.6. 

Do we need follow upgrade of CA directory from 12.6 -->14.1 -->14.3  or 12.6 --> 14.3 . which one would be better.

And documentation from 12.6 --> 14.3 (CA directory) upgrade would also be helpful here.

Thanks,

Hi Tanu,

You don't need to take care of any components upgrade when upgrading your vApp env from any 14.x version to 14.3.
Everything will done for you by the vApp upgrade tool. Please review the documentation link below (same as the one already provided):

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-identity-and-access-management/identity-suite/14-3/virtual-appliance/upgrading-virtual-appliance.html

The "Upgrade Overview" section will tell you what the vApp upgrade tool will do then review the rest of this link to list the pre/post upgrade operations to be done if needed.

Thanks
