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 Metasys Server 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) . |

11. |
If you followed any steps 3-10, 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. |
Install the Metasys
Server 12.0.50 software.
Note: When you install
specify the SCT archive database in the SCT Archive Db field on the Reporting tab screen
of the Metasys Server 12.0.50 installer. Make sure you install the new Metasys Server
12.0.50 software on the Site Director first. If you have other Metasys Servers, upgrade
them after the Site Director.
|
|
15. |
Install any other Metasys software at this time, including the Metasys Export Utility and MVE. |
Refer to their respective installation documents. For MVE, see Installing MVE Software. |
16. |
License the Metasys Server software and SMP software with the Software Manager. If you have licensed and installed MVE, you do not need to license SMP separately, it is included with the MVE license. |
See Licensing the Metasys Server Software, including steps for enabling and installing FIPS and for installing the MVE software |
17. |
Start Launcher on the computer and launch the Site Management Portal (SMP) for the upgraded Metasys Server. |
Refer to Launcher Tool Help (LIT-12011742) . |
18. |
To verify Metasys Server operation, log in to the Metasys Server using the MetasysSysAgent user and password. |
|
19. |
Log on to SCT 15.0, then use the Manage Archive wizard to upgrade the ADS/ADX device to Release 12.0. When asked to enter the Metasys Server user credentials, specify the MetasysSysAgent user and password. If during the upgrade process an Upgrade Warning dialog box appears regarding password resets, set a default password for the affected users, then contact the users of their new default password. Each affected user is prompted to change this default password when logging on to the Metasys Server 12.0.50 for the first time. |
Refer to SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) . |
20. |
If you upgraded the ADS/ADX device in your SCT archive from a Metasys
version prior to Release 12.0, to Release 12.0, confirm the following:
|
To check the configuration of the Third party BBMDs, see Checking third party BBMDs compatibility for ADS/ADX upgrades. To check the configuration of the Email DDA destinations, see Checking email DDA compatibility for ADS/ADX upgrades.
Note: The archive download to a Release 12.0 ADS/ADX fails if these
attributes have an incompatible configuration. For more information, see General Troubleshooting.
|
21. |
Download the Site Director
archive database from SCT 15.0 to the Metasys Server Site Director, making sure that you
click Include Security. When asked to enter the Metasys Server user
credentials, specify the MetasysSysAgent user and password. If the login for the Metasys
Server 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.
Note: A Server download logs off Metasys
UI and SMP users.
Note: Before you attempt a
download/upload to the server from SCT, wait for it to become operational. If you perform
a download/upload before then, the server does not operate correctly. To fix this, restart
the Metasys server host, wait for it to become operational, and try the process
again.

Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization in SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading. |
22. |
If the site has other Metasys Servers, upgrade and download each Metasys Server archive database from SCT 15.0 to the other Metasys Servers. The download also restores user accounts. |
Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization in SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading. |
23. |
(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. |
24. |
Update the network engines that
you want to upgrade to Release 12.0.
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 15.0 supports devices at multiple Metasys software releases,
beginning with Release 5.2.
|
Refer to NAE Update Tool Help (LIT-12011524) and SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) . |
25. |
If you updated network engines to Release 12.0, use SCT 15.0 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 SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) for information on downloading. |
26. |
If you need to bind a
purchased SHA256 certificate from a public certificate authority, follow the steps on the
right.
Note: The purchased
certificate must be SHA256 to work with Metasys UI.
|
|
27. |
(Optional) If you need the server to be FIPS compliant, enable FIPS mode and install the Metasys FIPS component. |
|
28. |
Create a full disk image backup of the computer's hard drive to external media (optional but recommended). |
Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system backup software. |
