Data migration of an existing MS Windows CMS to a new Insight Software 6.0 system

7
Step 4: Install
ing
version
6.0 Insight Software on the target CMS

Only the
i
nstallation
of Insight S
oftware is needed
; no additional discovery, etc
.

If the same remote database serv
er is to be used, either a new instance
must
be configured or
the old databases must be dropped for Insigh
t S
oftware to install.

Follow the instructions in the
Insight Software Installation and Configuration Guide
, chapter 2,
to install the software produc
ts of your choosing.

The post
-
installation configuration of the target CMS is not needed, so
you do not have to run
the steps listed in chapter 3 for configuration of the CMS from the Insight Software Installation
and Configuration

Step
5
: Launch
ing
the
console
on
the
target
CMS
This step just verifies that the target CMS is functioning as expected.
Log in
to the HP SIM GUI
,
and verify the expected software is installed
, using
Help

About
.
No
additional config
uration of the CMS is necessary.
Step 6: Upgrad
ing
to
version
6.0 or install
ing
migration software on the
source CMS
If the source CMS has Insight Dynamics suite from the Insight Software DVD version
3.0
or
3.1
installed, you
must
upgrade
to
Insight Softwa
re v6.0
prior to starting the migration process
.

The Insight Software DVD 3.0 or 3.1 contains Insight Dynamics
-
VSE v4.1.x, which
does
not
support a direct migration to the Insight Software v6.0 setup, and therefore m
ust be upgraded to
v6.0 first.
The versi
on of Insight Dynamics that is installed on the source CMS can be verified
through
the source CMS console
Help

About
menu.

Upgrade the source CMS to Insight Software v6.0, making sure to include the Insight Dynamics
version 6.0 suite.
For detailed steps on
how to upgrade from 3.x to 6.0, s
ee the
Insight Software
Installation and Configuration Guide
or the
Matrix Update G
uide
found at
http://www.hp.com/go/insightsoftware/docs
.
If the source CMS
does n
ot contain any of the Insight Dynamics product features and only
has Insight
Control version
3.1
or HP SIM version 5.3.x installed, a direct migration to the v
6.0 software can be
performed.
However, the migration too
ls have to be installed first.
Perform
the
following
steps
to install the migration software
on the source CMS
.
1.
Sign in
to
the s
ource CMS with
OS
administrativ
e privilege
s
.
2.
Obtain the migration utility installation. The migration utility is included as part of the v6.0
Insight Software installa
tion, however for same server migrations this utility will not be
immediately available from an install, but instead can be downloaded from the hp.com
FTP
server.
Option 1:
Copy the
contents of the
migration
folder from the
target CMS
where HP
SIM was inst
alled to the source CMS. For example, copy
C
:
\
Program
Files
\
HP
\
HP Systems Insight Manager
\
migration
from
the target CMS to
the
s
ource CMS
C
:
\
Program Files
\
HP
\
Systems Insight
Manager
\
migration
folder
, you
may
need to create the migration folder on the
sourc
e CMS
.
