102 OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide
Manual Migration
The following requires manual migration (typically, export, then import) from 6.x versions:
Discovery Profiles—Version 5+ no longer supports multiple networks in the profile,
so migrating from previous versions whose profiles support multiple networks
means those profiles are not well formatted.
SMTP Settings—re-make these in the Quick Navigation portlet.
Saved topologies / visualization—Since this is completely re-designed, you must re-
make any topologies. Plan ahead; take screenshots.
Command monitors—Commands have a different reference structure. You must
install external scripts to a referenced location rather than loading them in the
database, then configure the monitors to refer to them.
Group Operations—Deprecated, replaced by Adaptive CLI, Adaptive CLI groups and
Managed Resource Groups.
Scheduled items—Some must be re-scheduled.
User Names / Passwords, and User Groups (Roles)—These are not automatically re-
assigned, and must be manually re-created.
Custom Adaptive CLIs—Re-make these.
Associating Adaptive CLIs as destructors—The “Negate” commands for
configuration ACLIs are no longer supported in 6.x. Naming ACLIs so the
“constructors” and “destructors” sort together is a suggested alternative.
Details and Adaptive CLI—These replace Discrete Configuration which does not
migrate.
Performance—These capabilities have been completely reconfigured. You must re-
create dashboards from scratch.
