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

optional step to record key data items under the Exporting the source CMS configuration data section

was performed, use the item counts that were recorded to verify the following after logging in to the

target CMS as a user that has CMS-level administrator privileges. If verification fails, attempt the

export and import processes again.

1. Verify that the All Systems list is the same size as the source system.

2. Verify that users are the same. See OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations.

3. Verify that scheduled tasks appear correctly. See Tasks and LogsScheduled tasks.

4. Verify the set of collections. From the left navigation page, select Customize to view all collections

and the details and verify that they appear correct.

Note:

If you have issues activating a Logical Server after the import, see the

Troubleshooting chapter in the HP Matrix Operating Environment Logical

Server Management User Guide at

www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.

Step 2: Run data collection in overwrite mode and append mode

After a migration to a new host, run data collection in overwrite mode once, then in append mode.

Step 3: Verifying SMTP settings on the target CMS

After a migration to a new host, it is possible that the SMTP configurations might need to be updated.

Log into the CMS console, select OptionsEventsAutomatic Event HandlingE-mail settings, and

then verify that the SMTP server is correct. If these settings are incorrect, automatic event handling and

the emailing of reports might fail.

Step 4: Edit target CMS name in Matrix recovery management

From the recovery management user interface on the target and remote site CMS, navigate to the

Sites tab and ensure that the CMS name of the target CMS is properly reflected in either the local or

remote site after migration. If any of the CMS names for the local or remote site is incorrect or blank,

update the site with the correct CMS name. Follow the procedure outlined in Chapter 3 of the HP

Matrix Operating Environment Recovery Management User Guide for editing a site.

Note:

If you have migrated to a cluster, the target CMS name must be the

HPSIM/IM Name/Host Name (also known as the network name of the

MSCS HPSIM virtual server) of the target CMS.

Step 5: Post-migration steps for cluster CMS

This step is applicable only for cluster CMS.

1. Start the other node in the cluster.

2. Log in with the service account credentials you provided to the Insight Management Installer, the

username, password, and domain of your cluster. After you have successfully logged in, the HP

SIM home page appears.

3. Navigate to OptionsProtocol SettingsGlobal Protocol Settings. The Global Protocol Settings

page appears.

a. Click the Global Credentials link under SNMP. The Global Credentials page appears.
