4: Primary Server Migration 75
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
The installation process creates the sdserv.dmp file in the
/opt/rsa/am/utils/migration61 directory. The file is created in a folder that is sorted
by date and time. For example, 080902010244, if the migration completed in 2008, on
September 2nd, at 1:02:44.
Next Steps
Use the version 6.1 Database Administration application to fix any issues that you find
in the migration report. For more information on resolving issues, see Appendix A,
Migration Data Conversion
, on page 95.
Migrate Log Files
You can migrate the logs from the version 6.1 server to the version 8.1 database. This
one-time procedure allows you to keep all log data in one location.
Some version 6.1 log messages are migrated to equivalent version 8.1 log messages.
For a list of these version 6.1 events and their corresponding version 8.1 events, see
Log Migration Event Mapping
on page 77. The remaining version 6.1 log messages
are migrated as generic log messages into the authentication log event, with the exact
text of the message stored in a notes field of the generic message. They use the
following standard mapping:
Action Key = Authentication_Manager_6.1_migrated_log_message
Description = “Authentication_Manager_6.1_migrated_log_message. Original
message: Authentication_Manager_6.1_migrated_log_event_name”
For example, the version 6.1 event “Changed user admin level” does not have a
corresponding version 8.1 event. So the generic log message after migration is as
follows:
Action Key = AM61 Migrated log message
Description = AM61 Migrated log message. Original message: “Changed user admin
level”
You can import the legacy log messages into version 8.1 using the following
procedure.
The following also applies:
• If you import the log messages more than once, duplicate log entries are created.
• If you import the log dump file from an NFS or Windows Shared folder, make
sure the file is stored in a separate directory from other migration files such as the
database dump file. If you import the log data from the 8.1 server, the
/opt/rsa/am/migration location must only contain the log dump file.
