Environment

Release : 14.3

Component : CA IDENTITY SUITE (VIRTUAL APPLIANCE)

Resolution

Vapp renames the default.dxc to vapp-default.dxc during the upgrade.  

From the vApp system run the following

1.  su - dsa 

 2.  Navigate to the /config directory and find: 

UserStore_userstore-01.dxi

idm-userstore-router-caim-serv-01.dxi

3.  vi the files and review the references for default.dxc.  Modify the files to reference

vapp-default.dxc.  

4.  Upgrade again.  

Upgrade will now see the vapp-default.dxc files as expected and complete.
