Pre-migration requirements
Before you install Network Advisor, make sure you meet the following pre-migration requirements.
• Make sure all system requirements have been met prior to installation. For specific system
requirements, refer to
“System requirements” on page 1.
• Check for and install the latest Java patches for your operating system. Network Advisor
requires Oracle JRE
1.6.0_33. For the website listing patch information, go to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
• 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 migrating.
• Make sure to install Network Advisor on the same system as your current Management
application.
• If you are migrating within the same release or you are migrating from Professional to Licensed
software, make sure to partially uninstall (refer to
“Uninstallation” on page 47) the application.
• Partial data migration is not supported from pre-12.0.0 releases. If you are migrating data from
a partially uninstalled source, complete the following steps:
1. Re-install your current Network Advisor version on the same machine and migrate the
partially uninstalled data.
2. Install Network Advisor 12.0 (refer to “Installation” on page 1) on the same machine and
migrate your data (refer to “Migrating data” on page 39).
