Step

Action

Reference or Additional Steps

1.

Create a full disk image backup of the computer's hard drive to external media before upgrading any Metasys software (optional but recommended).

Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system backup software.

2.

Check if the computer has a SHA256 self-signed certificate bound to Default Web Site in IIS. If the ADS/ADX computer has a purchased certificate from a certificate authority (CA), determine if this is a SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm) certificate. If so, follow the steps on the right. If not, skip to the next step. Also, for more details, refer to the Network and IT Guidance Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) .

  1. In Control Panel, click System and Security > Administrative Tools.
  2. Start IIS Manager. Expand the server, then expand Sites.
  3. Click Default Web Site. Click Bindings in the right pane. The Site Bindings window appears.
  4. Look for a Site Binding called Type: https, Port: 443. If this site binding is not present, skip these substeps.
  5. If this site binding is present, select it and click Edit.
  6. In the Edit Site Binding window, click View.
  7. Read the values in the Issued to: and Issued by: fields. If these values are the same, the computer has a self-signed certificate. If these values are different, the computer has a purchased certificate from a CA.
  8. On the Certificate window, click Details.
  9. Read the value for the signature hash algorithm. If the value is not sha256, you need to update your certificate.
    1. If you have a self-signed certificate, or have a purchased one from a CA that does not need to be updated, make no changes.
    2. If you need to update a purchased certificate, make no changes, and contact your public CA for how to update your signed certificate to SHA256. If you continue with server installation now, a self-signed certificate is installed, which you can replace with a purchased certificate after the upgrade.
  10. Close IIS Manager.

3.

Uninstall the Ready Access Portal software if currently installed.

Refer to the Uninstalling Ready Access Portal Software section in the Ready Access Portal Software Installation Instructions (LIT-12011523) .

4.

Uninstall the Metasys Export Utility software if currently installed.

In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.

5.

Uninstall Energy Essentials if present. This uninstall step is required before you uninstall the ADS/ADX software in a later step.

In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.

6.
Select the appropriate action:
  • If Metasys UI Online Release 1.5.1 or earlier software is installed, uninstall Metasys UI Online.
  • If Metasys UI Online Release 2.0 or higher is installed, skip to the next step.

In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.

7.
Select the appropriate action:
  • If the site is at Release 7.0 or earlier, uninstall the current version of Metasys Launcher from the ADS/ADX computer and remove from all clients that log in to the ADS/ADX.
  • If the site is at Release 8.0 or later, skip to the next step.

In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select Johnson Controls - Launcher from the list of programs and click Uninstall.

8.
Select the appropriate action:
  • If the site is at Release 7.0 or earlier, uninstall the NAE Update Tool if present. This uninstall step is required before you can install or upgrade to the new version of SCT.
  • If the site is at Release 8.0 or later, skip to the next step.

In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.

9.

Uninstall the existing MVE software if present.

See Uninstalling MVE Software.

10.
Select the appropriate action:
  • If the computer has ADS/ADX software at Release 7.x or earlier, uninstall the existing ADS/ADX software. When prompted, select to remove license keys because you are upgrading to a new major software release.
  • If the computer has ADS/ADX software at Release 8.x or later, skip to the next step.

See Uninstalling the Metasys Server Software Introduction.

11.

Restart the computer.

Refer to the information for restarting the computer that came with your operating system.

12.

Verify that the currently installed version of SQL Server software is supported for the new release of Metasys software. If necessary, apply the supported service pack or cumulative update.

See Verifying your computer has a supported version of SQL Server software installed.

13.

Verify that SQL Server Reporting Services is configured properly.

Refer to the Verifying SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration section of SQL Server Installation and Upgrade Instructions (LIT-12012240).

14.

If you uninstalled ADS/ADX software in a previous step because the site was at Release 7.x or earlier, install the Metasys Server 11.0 software. Otherwise, upgrade the Metasys Server 11.0 software. When you install or upgrade, specify the SCT archive database in the SCT Archive Db field on the Reporting tab screen of the Metasys Server 10.1 installer. Make sure you install the new Metasys Server 11.0 software on the Site Director first. If you have other ADSs/ADXs, upgrade them after the Site Director.

See Upgrading Metasys Server or Metasys Server Software.

15.

License the ADS/ADX software with the Software Manager.

Refer to the Software Manager Help (LIT-12012389).

16.

Start Launcher on the computer and launch the Site Management Portal (SMP) for the upgraded ADS/ADX.

Refer to Launcher Tool Help (LIT-12011742) .

17.

To verify ADS/ADX operation, log in to the ADS/ADX using the MetasysSysAgent user and password.

See Launching the User Interfaces.

18.

Download the Site Director archive database from SCT 14.0 to the ADS/ADX Site Director, making sure that you click Include Security. When asked to enter the ADS/ADX user credentials, specify the MetasysSysAgent user and password. If the login for the ADS/ADX fails, click the Clear Security Database tab and click Set to be cleared. The device is upgraded, but the security database is removed from the archive.

Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization in Metasys SCT Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading.

19.

If the site has other ADS/ADX servers, upgrade and download each ADS/ADX archive database from SCT 14.0 to the other ADS/ADX servers. The download also restores user accounts.

Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization in Metasys SCT Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading.

20.

(OPTIONAL) If you want to move the Metasys historical databases now, use SQL Management Studio to move the databases to the desired location.

See Moving Metasys Historical Databases to a Custom Location.

21.
Update the network engines that you want to upgrade to Release 11.0.
Note: If you are upgrading from Release 5.2 or later, you do not need to update all devices to the newer release (except the Site Director). SCT 14.0 supports devices at multiple Metasys software releases, beginning with Release 5.2.

Refer to NAE Update Tool Help (LIT-12011524) and Metasys SCT Help (LIT-12011964) .

22.

If you updated network engines to Release 11.0, use SCT 14.0 to download the archive database of each network engine. The download also restores the Security database. After the download completes, issue the Reset Device command to each downloaded N40-class device (NxE35, NIE39, NxE45, NIE49, NxE25, or NIE29s) to ensure that the security database is archived to non-volatile memory. This step is new beginning at Release 8.0, but is not required for any other network engines (NxE55s, NxE59s, SNEs, and SNCs).

Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization in Metasys SCT Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading.

23.
