8. Click Save.
When the download is complete, all of the dialog boxes close.
9. Click Logout.
10. Exit Internet Explorer on your computer.
11. Navigate to the location that has the backupCab1.cab file, and extract the
contents of the backup file into a folder.
The necessary files are now available for migration to version 8.1.
Next Steps
Manually copy the migration files to one of the following locations:
• Your local machine. This option allows you to upload files through your
browser. If a file exceeds 2 GB, you cannot use this option.
• A Network File System (NFS)
• A Windows shared folder
• The RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 server in the directory
/opt/rsa/am/migration. To copy the files to version 8.1, you can use a Secure
Copy Protocol (SCP). If you use an SCP client, log on as rsaadmin, and enter
the operating system password that you specified during Quick Setup.
If you plan to migrate these files from an NFS or Windows Shared folder, make sure
the database dump file, the license file, and if applicable, the startup.pf file are stored
in separate directories from other files that you may want to migrate such as the log
dump file or a RADIUS migration package. If you plan to import from the 8.1 server,
the /opt/rsa/am/migration location must only contain the file that you require at the
time of import.
Note: Depending on your network and the size of each file, you may want to manually
copy the files to the Authentication Manager 8.1 server to expedite the import.
