FAQs
1. How do I migrate data from HP Insight Software 5.3.1 to HP Insight Management 7.0?
– Answer: Before the migration process begins, the source CMS must be upgraded to HP Insight
Management 7.0. For more details about the upgrade process, see Step 5: Upgrading to version
7.0.
2. How do I selectively migrate components to a target CMS machine from a source 7.0 CMS with
HP Insight Management?
– Answer: For example, if you want to migrate data for only HP Insight Control Virtual Machine
Management, then retain vmm_migration.xml and hpsim_migrate.xml in
<HPSIM>\config\migration and remove (backup before removing) other XMLs before
exporting/importing.
– While selectively migrating components, all dependent components must be migrated. Ensure the
components to be migrated selectively are installed and the corresponding XML’s are present
during export and import. Required dependant component XML’s are listed in the following table.
– The table lists the XML files required in <HPSIM>\config\migration to selectively migrate
data for a component.
Note:
When selectively migrating, ensure the components selected for migration
are installed in the target CMS.
Note:
If the source CMS had IRSA installed and configured in it, then the target
CMS should also have IRSA installed and configured for successful import.
