B: Reverting RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 to Version 6.1 107
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Revert a Migration Using the Same Hostname and IP Address
If you migrated using the same hostname or IP address, the process of reverting to
version 6.1 requires that you remove the version 8.1 primary instance from the
network, start the version 6.1 primary instance, and delete the sdstatus12 file from
each RSA Authentication Agent. This results in each agent receiving a new server list
with the version 6.1 servers.
Procedure
1. On the version 8.1 primary instance, stop all Authentication Manager services.
See “Manage RSA Authentication Manager Services Manually” in the Advanced
Administration chapter of the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Administrators
Guide for instructions.
2. Remove the version 8.1 primary instance from the network.
3. Add the version 6.1 primary server to the network using the same hostname and
IP address as the version 8.1 primary instance.
4. Start the version 6.1 primary server.
On Windows:
a. On the version 6.1 primary server, click Start > Programs > RSA Security >
RSA Authentication Manager Control Panel.
b. In the left-hand menu, click Start & Stop RSA Authentication Manager
Services.
On Solaris and Linux:
On the version 6.1 primary server, at the command line, type:
ACEPROG/sdconnect start
ACEPROG/aceserver start
5. Stop all version 8.1 replica instances.
6. For each RSA Authentication Agent, delete the sdstatus12 file.
Deleting this file forces each agent to read the sdconf.rec file, which contains the
names of the primary server and a replica server. When the agent contacts one of
these servers, a new version 6.1 server list is sent from the server to the agent.
Until the agent receives the new server list, it can communicate with the servers
listed in the sdeconf.rec file only.
7. Remove all version 8.1 replica instances from the network.
8. Add the version 6.1 replica servers to the network using the same hostname and IP
address as the version 8.1 replica instances.
