I've been assigned the task to migrate our CMS server to a new one.
The current CMS is running SIM 5.0.1.1 (yes, I know ...) / W2003 / SQL2000 on a Proliant server. The new one will be a VmWare guest machine with Sim 6 / W2008 R2 / Sql 2005.
I know it's preferable to not migrate it because of the gap between the two versions, so I'm going to install all the product from scratch. But I don't want to loose the collections and settings.
The current CMS is backuped using the informations provided in the HP document 'Backing up and restoring HP SIM 5.2 ...'. Is that sufficient for restoring the collections and settings in the new CMS ?
Many thanks for you help and advises.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Sim 5.0 to Sim 6.0 migration : how to keep the configuration ?
I found I can use the MX tols for exporting groups, users, settings .. Great.
Now my question is : the XML file generated with the mxquery tool shows IDs for the collections. Can this file be imported in a new server without any negative effect ?
Regards.

Re: Sim 5.0 to Sim 6.0 migration : how to keep the configuration ?
There is a new migration tool available with HPSIM 6.00
Back up your current CMS and data.
Upgrade it to 5.3-SP1
Install HPSIM 6.00 on the new server
There is a new migration tool (command line) available in C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\migration called migration.exe
Copy and execute the tool on the 5.3SP1 CMS
Copy the generated file to the new CMS
Use the same tool to restore the data.
HTH,
Tristan

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure I will the opportunity to upgrade the CMD to 5.3 but I will try, I have a bad experience of upgrading the SIM version and will make a full backup before proceeding.

2. Click ├в New├в , enter a name in the field provided, then under ├в Initialize contents with├в highlight Systems loaded from the central management server, sorted by: IP Address, and select ├в Initialize Now├в
3. In the Contents window, Highlight all the lines of text and copy it into the clipboard.
4. Open Notepad, and select Edit-Paste. Save the file as F:\HPSIM.txt (this will be imported later)
5. Open command prompt, navigate to \Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\bin
6. Export currently registered mibs: >mxmib ├в l >reg_mibs.txt

Re: Sim 5.0 to Sim 6.0 migration : how to keep the configuration ?
I already export the devices list weekly. I saved the registered mibs list using a SQL query but will do it also with Mxmib.
Thanks.

Re: Sim 5.0 to Sim 6.0 migration : how to keep the configuration ?
I've read the migration doc and test the export tools (seems to work fine after modify the Java size value).
i've just one question just to be sure about the migration.
Do i have to keep the same Ip adress or name on the target HP SIM 6.0 server ? Since it can to generate connexion pb to the existing remote SQl Database or the import of data from the migration tools .. ?
Thx
