Data migration of an existing Microsoft Windows CMS to a new Insight Management 7.0 system

HP Matrix infrastructure orchestration (IO) support matrix
Starting in 6.3, federated CMS is enabled by default in every new installation. Even if a single CMS
is installed and configured, federation may be enabled. Thus, when planning the migration of IO
data, make sure to review Table 7 carefully.
In order to check whether federated CMS is enabled in your environment:
• In CMS, open the hpio.properties file located at
<Insight_Orchestration_install_directory>\conf and search for the federated.io
property.
• If this property is set to true, the environment is configured as federated CMS.
• If this property is set to false, the environment is configured for non-federated CMS.
In a federated CMS scenario, there are two kinds of systems that can be migrated: the primary CMS
(which has IO installed) and the secondary CMS (which does not have IO installed).

target in order to proceed with migration (non-
federated to non-federated scenario). To do so, open
hpio.properties located at C:\Program

No If federation does not have secondary CMS’s registered
and only the primary CMS is part of the federation,
federation may be disabled. This requires HP support to
help turn an existing federated CMS into a non-
federated CMS.
