To migrate image data
1. Install and configure the VMT software on both IMPAX systems.
2. If applicable, migrate studies from the Network Gateway caches on the old IMPAX system to
the new IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
3. If the old IMPAX system has a DAA archive, migrate the archived studies from the legacy
archive to the new IMPAX 6.5.3 HSM archive.
4. Check the migration results.
Transitioning to the new IMPAX 6.5.3 system
(Topic number: 125240)
7.
As archive migration can take a long time (months or years), users can transition to the new
IMPAX 6.5.3 system as soon as a sufficient cache repository is available in the new system. The
archive migration (from legacy DAA archive to the new HSM archive) continues in the background
using VMT while new studies are stored directly on the HSM server.
To transition to the new IMPAX 6.5.3 system
1. Transmit all studies from the old IMPAX system acquired after the cold backup was taken to
the new IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
2. Redirect all modalities to the new IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
Deleting the PACS Store and Remember archive
locations
(Topic number: 123370)
8.
After all studies have been migrated from DAA to HSM, the PACS Store and Remember archive
locations can be deleted from the IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
To delete the PACS Store and Remember archive locations
1.
Open a command prompt and change to the C:\mvf\bin directory.
2. To delete the archive locations, type
mvf_remove_archive.exe -a PACS_archive_AE_reference
Optionally include options -l for the log level and -f for the log file name.
Note:
De-referencing the archive location might take between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the
system and the size of the archive being removed.
