You can perform a new fresh installation of VMware Identity Manager or upgrade an existing instance, using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. You can also upgrade outside VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, and then reimport by triggering the inventory sync in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
For more information about the latest version of VMware Identity Manager and upgrade instructions, see the VMware Identity Manager Release Notes, and then trigger an upgrade from VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
When upgrading VMware Identity Manager, using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle:
- Verify that you have taken a snapshot of VMware Identity Manager nodes.
- Verify that you have your product binaries mapped.
- For a clustered VMware Identity Manager upgrade, ensure to disable all the stand-by nodes in the load-balancer so that the traffic is not routed to the stand-by nodes and enable them back once the upgrade is completed.
To complete the upgrade steps, refer to the Upgrade VMware Identity Manager section of the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle documentation.
