Before you can upgrade to KeyControl Compliance Manager version 10.4.3, you must prepare your system. This process performs the following:

  • Prepares a full backup of your cluster with the following format:

  • HTKC_Cluster_10.3.1.0_<year>_<month>_<day>_<hours>_<minutes>_<seconds>_key_gen1.bu.

  • Records the pertinent network information of your cluster.

  • Puts the cluster into maintenance mode, which prevents any changes from happening to the cluster.

Before You Begin 

  • Important: If you have multiple nodes in your cluster, and plan to reuse the IP address of one of the nodes, please remove all additional nodes from the cluster, and shut them down before you start the prepare to upgrade process.
