40 2: Planning For Migration
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Determine how LDAP synchronization jobs map to identity sources.
Determine which data you want to migrate from version 6.1.
Determine if you want to migrate any data to a specific security domain.
Migrating to a specific security domain can affect the administrative capabilities
of some administrators.
Determine if you need to map user logon names in the NTLM format to the UPN
format.
Resolve all pending RSA Deployment Manager token provisioning requests.
Ensure that RSA Authentication Manager version 8.1 is deployed. For
deployment instructions, see the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Setup and
Configuration Guide.
Back up the version 8.1 deployment. If you deployed a virtual appliance, you can
create a VMware snapshot or Hyper-V checkpoint instead. For instructions, see
B
ack Up the Version 8.1 Deployment on page 43.
Determine whether you are migrating a RADIUS server. You must migrate
RADIUS before migrating the primary server.
If you plan to add a replica instance, complete the primary instance migration
before adding the version 8.1 replica instance.

Assessment
Before you migrate to version 8.1, RSA recommends that you run the RSA
Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Assessment Utility. This utility analyzes
your database to determine if any issues must be addressed prior to migration, such as
data incompatibilities or potential areas for cleanup, such as expired tokens.
Addressing obsolete or incompatible data before migrating helps to ensure a
successful migration to version 8.1.
