11.8 Adding New Servers to the Driver Set

When you upgrade or migrate Identity Manager to new servers, you must update the driver set information. This section guides you through the process. You can use Designer or Identity Console to update the driver set.

11.8.1 Adding the New Server to the Driver Set

If you are using Identity Console, you must add the new server to the driver set. Designer contains a Migration Wizard for the server that does this step for you. If you are using Designer, skip to Copying the Server-specific Information in Designer. If you are using Identity Console, complete the following procedure:

  1. In Identity Console, click IDM Administration.

  2. Select the driver set.

  3. Click driver icon.

  4. Click Add Server.

  5. Browse to and select the new Identity Manager server, then click OK.

11.8.2 Removing the Old Server from the Driver Set

After the new server is running all of the drivers, you can remove the old server from the driver set.

Using Designer to Remove the Old Server from the Driver Set

  1. In Designer, open your project.

  2. In the Modeler, right-click the driver set, then select Properties.

  3. Select Server List.

  4. Select the old Identity Manager server in the Selected Servers list, then click the < to remove the server from the Selected Servers list.

  5. Click OK to save the changes.

  6. Deploy the change to the Identity Vault.

    For more information, see Deploying a Driver Set to an Identity Vault in the NetIQ Designer for Identity Manager Administration Guide.

Using Identity Console to Remove the Old Server from the Driver Set

  1. In Identity Console, click IDM Administration.

  2. Select the driver set.

  3. Click driver icon.

  4. Click Remove Server.

  5. Browse to and select the new Identity Manager server, then click OK.

Decommissioning the Old Server

At this point, the old server is not hosting any drivers. If you no longer need this server, you must complete additional steps to decommission it:

  1. Remove the eDirectory replicas from this server.

    For more information, see “Deleting Replicas” in the NetIQ eDirectory Administration Guide.

  2. Remove eDirectory from this server.
