Problem Upgrading HP Sim 6.3 , unsupported os & Migration tool wont work

Hi,

 

I have HP SIM 6.3 running on Windows Server 2008 HPC Edition (R1)

 

I Had no problems installing 6.3 on this edition of windows, and did not even consider it would be an issue with upgrades in the future.

 

Now i can see 7.0 &  7.1   has been released, so i thought it was time to do an upgrade.

 

If i try to upgrade using either of the above versions, i get this error message "HP Systems Insight Manager Installer detected an unsupported operating system"

 

Checking the supported OS versions on the release notes, and yes HPC 2008 R1 is not listed as a supported OS.... (Although it more or less is a standard edition with minor differences)

 

So i thought then i would setup a new server with a "supported" OS like HPC 2008 R2 or Standard 2008 R2 and then transfer all the settings from my old 6.3 server.

 

However, now i run into a second issue :

 

When i try and run the Data Migration tool, i get the following message :

 

mxexport.exe -p

 

Lookup HPSIM InstallPath (x86)

HPSIM InstallPath:  C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager

Lookup succeeded

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hp/mx/migration/c

li/CLIWrapper

Could not find the main class: com.hp.mx.migration.cli.CLIWrapper.  Program will

exit.

 

 

Anyone how any ideas on how i can workaround this?

 

1 Work around the 7.x installer blocking the upgrade on HPC 2008 r1 ?

2 A way to fix the migration tool issue?

3 another way to manually move my existing sim install to another server?

 

Any input is very appriciated!
