If you are migrating from Linux server that is no longer supported to a supported Linux server,
complete the following steps. For a list of supported operating system servers, refer to
Table 2 on
page 2.
NOTE
If you are migrating from a pre-11.1.0 release, you must first migrate to IBM Network Advisor 11.1.0
on your current server (refer to Table 11 on page 45 for the release migration path).
1. Install IBM Network Advisor 12.0.X on your current machine (refer to “Installation” on page 1)
and migrate your data (“Migrating data” on page 46).
2. Back up the server data on your current machine. For instructions, refer to “Configuring
backup” in the IBM Network Advisor User Manual or online help.
3. Install IBM Network Advisor 12.0.X on the supported server (refer to “Data Migration” on
page 39).
4. Restore the server back up from your original server. For instructions, refer to “Restoring data”
in the IBM Network Advisor User Manual or online help.
5. Install IBM Network Advisor 12.3.3 on your new machine (refer to “Data Migration” on
page 39) and migrate your data (“Migrating data” on page 46).
Cross OS migration is not supported; however, you can restore a Windows OS backup to a Linux OS
and vice versa. If you are migrating from one OS to another, complete the following steps.

Additional pre-migration requirements on UNIX systems
• Make sure that the current application services are running.
1. Go to Install_Home/bin.
2. Execute ./smc or sh smc.
3. Click the Services tab.
The tab lists the DCFM services.
4. Click Start, if necessary.
• Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client
applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor Server
(typically, this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged in
user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).
