Migrating the configuration of Infrastructure Management cells

This section details how to migrate your existing KB to the latest standard 10.0.00 KB.

Note

You must migrate and merge your KB only if the KB and the mcell.conf file located at MCELL_HOME\etc\cellName\ contain any customizations.

Overview of KB migration

Your existing KB might contain customizations, such as class definitions and rules that are unique to your environment, so you must migrate and merge these customizations with the new 10.0.00 standard KB. After you merge your KB, it contains the following components:

  • Definitions from your existing KB
  • New definitions from the latest KB

You must do this merger before you start the server upgrade because the upgrade process requires the KB to be current. You must migrate every KB in your Infrastructure Management implementation. The migration process is a combination of several configuration steps.

Prerequisite for KB migration

Before you migrate a KB, you must install a Integration Service 10.0 on a separate computer in your monitoring environment because the KB Migration Wizard requires a latest Integration Service. For information about installing a Integration Service, see Installing the Integration Service on Microsoft Windows and Installing-Integration-Service-and-Remote-Cell-on-Linux-IBM-AIX-or-Solaris.

Note

Infrastructure Management does not support customized severity or status definitions. You must remove all customized severity and status definitions from the existing KB before attempting the migration.
