NOTE:
Migrating from 2.x to 3.2
You can start with a fresh deployment of the v3.2 OVF after uninstalling the old version and then migrate the data from older version
(2.x) to 3.2 version by using backup and restore path.
To migrate from an older version to the OMIVV 3.2 version, perform the following steps:
1. Take a backup of the database for the older (v2.x) release.
For more information, see OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
2. Power o the older appliance from vCenter.
NOTE: Do not unregister the OMIVV plug-in from vCenter. Unregistering the plug-in from vCenter removes all the
alarms registered on vCenter by the OMIVV plug-in and all the customization that is performed on the alarms such
as, actions and so on. For more information, see Recovering OMIVV after unregistering the earlier plug-in version if
you have unregistered the plug-in after the backup.
3. Deploy the new OpenManage Integration version 3.2 OVF.
For more information on deploying the OVF, see Deploy Plug-In OVF Using the vSphere Client.
4. Power on the OpenManage Integration version 3.2 appliance.
5. Set up the network and time zone on the appliance.
Ensure that the new OpenManage Integration version 3.2 appliance has the same IP address as the old appliance. To set up the
network details, see Registering OMIVV within vCenter And Importing The License File.
NOTE: The OMIVV plug-in might not work properly if the IP address for the OMIVV 3.2 appliance is dierent from
the IP address of the older appliance. In such a scenario, unregister and re-register all the vCenter instances.
6. Restore the database to the new OMIVV appliance.
