About upgrading to OpsCenter Server on a different Windows system

This section explains how you can upgrade from NOM or VBR to OpsCenter 7.1 Server software on a different Windows system. An example scenario is when NOM or VBR is running on Windows 2000 and you require the same data with OpsCenter 7.1 on Windows 2003.

Note:

Symantec recommends that you enable 8.3 file name creation before installing OpsCenter components. If 8.3 file name creation is disabled, enable it and restart the Windows host before installing or upgrading to OpsCenter components.

Note the following points before you upgrade from NOM or VBR to OpsCenter 7.1 Server software on a different Windows system:

Manual upgrades are supported only within the Windows family. For example, you can upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008 but you cannot upgrade from a Windows platform to Solaris 10.
Manual upgrade is supported between the following systems:
- 32-bit to 64-bit systems
- 32-bit to 32-bit systems
- 64-bit to 64-bit systems
For example, you can upgrade from NOM running on Windows 2000 (32-bit) to OpsCenter 7.1 on Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit). However, manual upgrade from a 64-bit system to a 32-bit system is not supported.
Manual upgrade to OpsCenter 7.1 Server is supported from the following NOM versions:
- NOM 6.5.4
- NOM 6.5.6
Manual upgrade to OpsCenter 7.1 Server is supported from the following VBR versions:
- VBR 6.6.1
- VBR 6.6.2

Use the following procedure to upgrade to OpsCenter Server software on a different Windows system.

The procedure basically involves the following steps:

Back up your NOM database or VBR database and configuration files using DataBackupUtility.exe for the appropriate architecture on your old NOM or VBR server.
See Backing up your data on the NOM server or VBR server (UNIX).
Copy this data from the old server to the server where you plan to install OpsCenter Server.
Install the OpsCenter Server software and restore the NOM data or VBR data using the OpsCenter installer.
See Upgrading to OpsCenter Server on the new system.
