HPSim 7.6 Migration to new server and domain

VX-Servicedesk — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 06:23:40 GMT

Hi all,

I am the lucky guy who is assigned to migrate our current HPSim 7.6 server from Windows server 2008 R2 to a new 2016 server. This new server also is joined to a different domain.

I am wondering how to complete this migration. From what I have read in the documentation the two servers for the migration must be in the same domain. Is this really true?

Little scetch of the situation. We monitor around 200 servers (all HP) from our customers locations over site-to-site VPN tunnels. So servers which are monitored are not in the same domain and are being scanned over both WBEM and SNMP.

Is the correct approach to install / configure a new Windows server with HP SIM 7.6 and SQL server and use the mxexport / mximport tool to migrate the data or is this too easy and am I missing a few steps?
Hope to hear from you!

Hi,

Yes, it is true that both Source and Target CMS must be in same domain. Refer https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c05333759.

It is correct approach to go with mximport and mxexport for migration provided both source and target CMS in same domain.

Follow the document Data Migration of an Existing Microsoft Windows CMS to a New Insight Management 7.6 System for detailed information and instruction. Link for the document is as same above.
