This document contains information about upgrading the Arellia Management Server (AMS) from a previous version to the current version.
Required Components
If you upgrading Arellia 7.5 or 8.0 to 8.1, you must first upgrade Microsoft SQL Server Data Tier Application Framework (DACFx) to June 2014 or later.
Failure to do so may result in installation errors (see Upgrade Arellia Management Server below).
The framework consists of the following components which must be installed in order:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Transact-SQL ScriptDom
- Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (x86)
- Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (x64)
- Microsoft SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx) for x64 (June 2014)
- Microsoft SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx) for x86 (June 2014)
New installations of AMS will automatically install the correct version of DACFx.
To automate the installation of the DACFx (June 2014) package you can download and run this PowerShell script on your internet connected AMS instance.
To see instructions for offline upgrades of the AMS, go to Upgrading an AMS instance that is not Internet connected.
