8| Upgrading to ClearPass 6.6| Tech Note
After a Successful Upgrade
This section describes the tasks that you might need to perform in order to restore configuration elements that
were not migrated during the successful upgrade to W-Policy Manager 6.6.
This section contains the following topics:
l "Installing the MySQL Driver" on page 8
l "Reconfiguring the Standby Publisher Configuration" on page 8
l "Restoring Custom Modifications" on page 8
l "Restoring the Session Log Database" on page 8
Installing the MySQL Driver
If you are using MySQL and wish to install the MySQL driver, please contact Dell Product Support, who can
provide the driver patch for your specific version of W-ClearPass.
Reconfiguring the Standby Publisher Configuration
If you cleared the configuration of the Standby Publisher (see "Clearing the Standby Publisher Configuration"
on page 5), you must manually reconfigure the Standby Publisher configuration.
1. Go to Administration > Server Manager > Server Configuration > Cluster-Wide Parameters.
2. From the Cluster-Wide Parameters page, select the Standby Publisher tab.
Figure 4 Cluster-Wide Parameters: Standby Publisher Page
3. Reset the Standby Publisher parameters to the desired settings, then click Save.
Restoring Custom Modifications
Any custom modifications performed on the W-ClearPass Server during the course of its operation, such as
changing system-level parameters while logged in as arubasupport by Aruba TAC, are not carried over during
the upgrade process.
l You can incorporate custom changes into the W-ClearPass configuration after the upgrade is complete. In
this scenario, you should apply these custom configuration parameters via the W-ClearPass configuration
process.
l User modifications on default services (for example, dynamically received data, such as Guest SSIDs) are not
carried forward after the upgrade. You must reconfigure these inputs after you upgrade.
Restoring the Session Log Database
To reduce downtime during the upgrade process, the default upgrade behavior backs up the Session Log
Database and Access Tracker records, but they are not restored as part of the upgrade. If required, you can
manually restore them after the upgrade through the user interface.
