82 5: Replica Server Migration
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Procedure
1. On the version 6.1 machine, click Start > Programs > RSA Security >
RSA Authentication Manager Database Tools > Dump.
The Authentication Manager Database Dump dialog box opens.
2. Under Select Databases to dump, select Dump Server Database.
3. Under Options, select Include delta tables in dump file to dump all associated
delta information.
4. Under Disk Space Requirements, verify that the amount of disk space available
exceeds the amount of space required. In the Output Directory box, specify the
directory path where you want to create the dump files.
5. Click OK.
This displays the status of the dump process.
6. Do one of the following:
• Click Close when the dump process is done.
• If you want to save the status report of the dump process, click Save As,
specify a filename and a directory, click Save, and then click Close.
Next Steps
Manually copy the replica 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 kept
in separate directories from other migration files. If you plan to import from the 8.1
server, the /opt/rsa/am/migration location must only contain the file that you require
for importing the delta records.
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.
