Restoring the installation server

Applies to: On premises

You can restore the installation server, if needed.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the IBM OpenPages® 9.2.x package from Passport Advantage.

Download the latest fix pack kit to get the latest version of the installation server software.

Procedure

  1. Log out of the installation app.
  2. Log on to the OpenPages installation server computer as the user who installed the installation server.

    Alternatively, you can log in as any user who has full permissions on the installation server directories and who can run Node.js.

  3. Stop the installation server if it is running.
    See Stopping the installation server.
  4. If you started the installation agents on remote servers manually, stop the agent on each remote server.
    See Stopping the installation agent manually.
  5. Back up the <installation_server_home>/src/deployment directory.
  6. Uninstall the installation server.
    1. Go to the <installation_server_home>/install/<OS type> directory.
    2. Run the uninstall script.
      • Windows 
        uninstall.bat
      • Linux®:
        ./uninstall.sh
    3. Delete the <installation_server_home> directory where the installation app was installed, for example, NewInstaller.
  7. Install the installation server by using the 9.2.x package from Passport Advantage.
    For more information, see Setting up the installation server on Windows or Setting up the installation server on Linux.
  8. Update the installation server by using the latest fix pack kit from Fix Central.
    For more information, see Updating the installation server.
    Note: If you installed the agent software on remote servers manually, ensure that the agent software is at the same version as the installation server.
  9. Restore the /deployment directory that you backed up in step 5.
