InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility Overview
The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility is used to migrate settings and data from
InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 to the StruxureWare Central server. When migration is
complete, devices managed by the InfraStruxure Manager will be managed by the
StruxureWare Central 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
StruxureWare Central server. Before using the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility, APC
recommends preparing for the migration from InfraStruxure Manager v4.7 to the
StruxureWare Central server. For more information, see Before you begin.
The InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility prompts you to back up data and
configuration settings on the StruxureWare Central server, if necessary, before you perform
an InfraStruxure Manager migration.
You launch the InfraStruxure Manager Migration Utility from the System menu in the
StruxureWare Central 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 StruxureWare
Central 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
StruxureWare Central 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 StruxureWare
Central server, for example, when data already exists on the StruxureWare Central 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 StruxureWare Central InfraStruxure Manager Migration Status view, accessed from
the Window menu in the StruxureWare Central 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.
