Migrating nodes from 6.x to 6.3.0
Nodes you added to HP SUM 6.0.1 and 6.2.0 must be migrated before you can use them in HP SUM
6.3.0. Use the script hpsum_migration to perform the migration at any time.
1. From the HP SUM directory, launch hpsum_migration.bat (Windows) or
hpsum_migration.sh (Linux).
2. HP SUM displays a list of previous versions of HP SUM it finds. Select the versions you want to
migrate to HP SUM 6.3.0.
HP SUM migrates the node address and name that you have entered in the earlier version of HP SUM.
Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6.x
HP provides scripts that migrate the targets you added to HP SUM 5.x into nodes that HP SUM 6.x
recognizes. If you want to edit the targets that you migrate to HP SUM 6.x, use the /script parameter.
This generates a file that you can edit with a text editor application.
NOTE: The migration script does not support sudo credentials.
To migrate nodes to HP SUM 6.x:
1. Navigate to the directory that holds HP SUM.
2. Double-click port_targets.bat (Windows) or port_targets.sh (Linux).
Running the script from the command line
Script syntax:
port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password {password}
The script supports the following options:

does not run the script. You can edit the script commands
