Upgrading Automated Security Manager
You can import a NetSight database (Console release 1.5) containing previously configured ASM components
into the NetSight 2.2 database. The information that is imported from the earlier database replaces any ASM
information that you've configured in the currently open database. Some preparations and caveats should be
understood prior to importing elements from the earlier version into ASM 2.2.
Make a backup of your current NetSight 2.2 database (use the Database tab of the Server Information
view). Importing components from the 1.5 database into 2.2 will overwrite all existing ASM tables in
the database.
•
Log Entry Details are not imported. Log Entries from release 1.1 are imported, however attempting to
open the Log Entry Details view will result in an error message.
•
When importing from a remote client, Custom Action Scripts and Custom Undo Scripts must be
manually copied to their proper location on the server. This is because only the paths to scripts are
imported to the server; the scripts themselves are not imported to the server. Copy your custom scripts
to the <install area>\
Enterasys Networks\NetSight
Console\server\plugins\AutoSecMgr\scripts
directory on the server.
•
You must populate the NetSight Database with devices prior to importing ASM components. Either
convert the prior version of the NetSight database or Discover the devices on your network.
•
Devices, Device Groups, Profiles, Users, and Authorization Groups that are already in the NetSight
Console 2.2 database will not be changed.
•
You must have read and write file access in the directory from where you want to Open an earlier
database and where you will Save the updated database.
•
Errors detected during the import are reported in the Events View − Automated Security tab. Refer to How to
Import a Database for more specific information on importing from a NetSight (Console release 1.5) database.
