Performing an InfraStruxure Manager migration

1. Select an answer to the question Have you created a system backup recently? as follows:
   • No, I need to backup: Provides access to the "Server Backup/Restore" display, a Server Administration option in the System menu, to back up data and configuration settings on the Data Center Expert server before performing an InfraStruxure Manager migration.

   • Yes, I have a backup: Provides direct access to the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility.

     Note

     You select this option if you have a recent backup file for your Data Center Expert server, or if the Data Center Expert server is new and contains no data or settings to migrate.

     See Server Backup/Restore for more information.

2. Specify the hostname or IP address and login credentials for the InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 from which you want to migrate settings and data, and click Next.

   You cannot logon when a firmware update or mass configuration is in progress on the InfraStruxure Manager.

   When the InfraStruxure Manager from which you want to migrate settings and data uses the RADIUS, then Local, or RADIUS only authentication method, you can provide the RADIUS administrator logon credentials to the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility.

   Note

   Note: RADIUS users are not migrated from InfraStruxure Manager to the Data Center Expert server.

3. Select the settings and data to you want to migrate from the InfraStruxure Manager to the server, select Add License Key to add additional license keys, if necessary, to manage nodes migrated from the InfraStruxure Manager, and click Next.
   See "Migration Options" display and Migration Options details for more information.
4. Modify the format of the InfraStruxure Manager SMTP "From" address, for example, server@apc.com, if necessary, and click Next.
   The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility validates the SMTP settings you want to migrate to the Data Center Expert server. The "From" address that appears in email from the InfraStruxure Manager must be in a valid format to migrate to the Data Center Expert server, for example, server@apc.com.
5. View the settings and data that will not migrate from InfraStruxure Manager to the server, if applicable, select I understand, and click Next.
   See "Some Items Will Not Migrate" display for more information.
6. Click each option to confirm the settings and data to migrate from InfraStruxure Manager to the server, click Back to modify your selections, if necessary, and click Finish.
   The Data Center Expert client must remain during the migration until the "Applying stored settings" message appears in the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility Status view. When migration is complete, devices managed by the InfraStruxure Manager will be managed by the Data Center Expert server, and the InfraStruxure Manager will be turned off.
