Professional edition migration
Professional pre-migration requirements on Windows systems
Before you migrate from Professional, complete the following:
• Make sure that you fully back up your current Management application data on your management server.
• Make sure you close all instances of the application before upgrading.
Professional pre-migration requirements on UNIX systems
Before you migrate from Professional edition, complete the following:
• Make sure that you fully back up your current Management application data on your management server.
• Make sure you close all instances of the application before upgrading.
• Check for and install the latest Java patches for your operating system. DCFM requires JRE 1.6.0_16. For the
Solaris web site listing patch information, go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
• (Solaris only) To use IPv6 on a server that is IPv4- and IPv6-enabled, complete the following steps.
a. Open a command window.
b. Type
ifconfig Interface_Name inet6 plumb up and press Enter.
c. Restart the Management server and client, if running.
If the IPv6 address is not configured properly, the client will show a "Server Not Available at port 24600"
message even though the server started successfully.
• Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client applications to display
from the host on which they are installing the DCFM Server (typically, this simply requires that the systems
console be present and running with a logged in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE,
GNOME, and so on).
• Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid value (for example,
to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a remote system that has an X Server
running, export DISPLAY=
Remote_IP_Address:0.0).
You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server which listens by default on
TCP port 6000 on the remote host.
To display to a remote system you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running command xhost
+IP, where IP is the IP address of the DCFM server host from the X-based desktop of the remote system.
• Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the command xterm from the same shell from which you
run
install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display should open.
