The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility is used to migrate settings and data from InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 to the server. When migration is complete, devices managed by the InfraStruxure Manager will be managed by the server.
Note
The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility supports InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 only.
The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility provides a step-by-step transition from managing devices using InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 to managing devices using the Data Center Expert server. Before using the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility, APC recommends preparing for the migration from InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 to the Data Center Expert server. For more information, see Before you begin.
The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility prompts you to back up data and configuration settings on the Data Center Expert server, if necessary, before you perform an InfraStruxure Manager migration.
You launch the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility from the System menu in the Data Center Expert client, and specify administrator logon credentials for the InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 from which you want to migrate settings and data. You then select settings and data to migrate from the InfraStruxure Manager to the Data Center Expert server, including Devices and Groups on the public and private LANs, Data Log, Server Settings, Time Settings, Notification Settings, and the option to export the InfraStruxure Manager Event Log.
You can add license keys to monitor additional nodes, or to access functionality available in separately-licensed applications, if necessary. Because some license keys require the Data Center Expert server to reboot, APC recommends adding any necessary license keys before using the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility.
When settings and data will not migrate from InfraStruxure Manager to the Data Center Expert server, for example, when data already exists on the Data Center Expert server, or an error has occurred, you can view the reason and modify your selections, or elect to continue the migration. After a final review, you confirm your selections to begin migration.
The Data Center ExpertInfraStruxure Manager Migration Status view, accessed from the Window menu in the Data Center Expert client, provides detailed information about the ongoing migration process.
Migration of a fully configured InfraStruxure Manager, monitoring the maximum number of nodes, can take over twenty-four hours to complete, when the InfraStruxure Manager data log is included in the migration. When the data log is not included, migration can take up to one hour. When a migration that includes devices on the private LAN is complete, the InfraStruxure Manager will be turned off.
