Migrating BMC Network Automation from one server to another

Use this procedure to learn how to migrate one BMC Network Automation system to another in the following situations:

  • If you want to migrate and upgrade to a 64-bit 8.x version from versions earlier than 8.5.00 which are 32-bit installations
  • If you want to migrate to a different OS type or server hardware

Note

For systems running local authentication, if you first upgrade to BMC Network Automation version 8.3.x and then upgrade to version 8.9, the system forces all the users to change their passwords the first time they log on to the system. This is necessary to ensure that the encryption of user passwords is compliant with the FIPS-140 standards.
