Upgrade Single Sign-On Service Tile Resource Instance between PCF 1.12 and PCF 2.0

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

Due to changes introduced between PCF 1.12 and PCF 2.0, SSO Service Tiles prior to the version 1.5.3 will encounter upgrade issues when upgrading Pivotal Application Service 1.12 to PCF 2.0. Customers with the SSO service tile must first perform the following steps before they can upgrade to Pivotal Application Service 2.0.

 

Environment

Resolution

1. Upgrade SSO Service Tile to version 1.5.3 or higher on PCF ERT 1.12.

2. Check your configurations for the Apps Manager Errand resource setting in Ops Manager. Go to the PCF 1.12 Pivotal Application Service tile, Resource Config tab, and find the Apps Manager Errand.

If it says, “Automatic: 1”, you can skip to the step 5 to complete your PCF 2.0 upgrade.

If it is set to any other value than that, continue with steps 3 and 4 to set the value using the OM tool. Alternatively, you can also utilize OpsManager APIs directly.

3. Follow instructions here to install the om tool. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/pivotal-cf/om/releases.

4. Run the following command targeting your OpsManager instance with your OpsManager username and password:

om --target pcf.example.com --username my-user --password my-password configure-product --product-name cf --product-resources '{"push-apps-manager": { "instances": "automatic" }}

To use the om tool on Windows Powershell with the latest om release, you’ll have to use the command a little differently.

.\om-windows --% --target pcf.example.com -u my-user -p my-password -k configure-product --product-name cf --product-resources "{\"push_apps_manager\": {\"instances\": \"automatic\"}}"

5. Upgrade the Pivotal Application Service 1.12 to Pivotal Application Service 2.0 following the regular upgrade instructions.

Warning: Please make sure that you upgrade Ops Manager first before upgrading Pivotal Application Service. OpsManager 2.0 is required for the upgrade of Pivotal Application Service 1.12 to PCF PAS 2.0 with the SSO 1.5.3 tile installed.
