6. Repeat step 2 through step 5 for each user role you want to edit.

Fabric Manager migration
NOTE
Data migration to Enterprise edition is only available from Fabric Manager 5.4 and 5.5.
NOTE
You cannot migrate from Fabric Manager to Professional or Professional Plus. You must migrate to
the Enterprise trial or Enterprise edition.
NOTE
If you have Fabric Manager 5.3 or earlier software, you must upgrade to Fabric Manager 5.4 or 5.5
before you can migrate to DCFM Enterprise trial or Enterprise edition.
For information about upgrading to a version of Fabric Manager that meets migration requirements,
refer to the Upgrade Instructions for Fabric Manager 5.4 and 5.5.
Migration facilitates importing asset information, authentication settings, as well as important
configuration settings from your existing Fabric Manager installation to the new Management
application installation.
All basic asset information from the Fabric Manager repository is imported to the new Management
application as part of migration. The asset data migrated includes discovered Fabrics and
Switches. Other asset data (such as, name server information, ports, zoning, admin domain, and
so on) is collected once the DCFM server starts after migration as part of regular asset collection.
Fabric Manager server authentication settings are migrated. If you chose an external
authentication type in Fabric Manager, the settings contain the external authentication
configuration. User information (Fabric Manager user preferences) is migrated and automatically
added to DCFM with default access to ‘All Fabrics’ and ‘Administrator’ privilege. Also, the
authentication method set in Fabric Manager migrates as Primary authentication and the
secondary authentication migrates as ‘none’. If the Primary authentication is Switch/RADIUS, the
secondary authentication is set as Local.
FTP server settings are also migrated. Necessary configuration files and entries are ported to the
FTP server in the DCFM installation.
