New FMS setup for changing the DB type

viki
over 7 years ago

Hi,

 

We are planning to change our database type from Oracle to MSSQL.

And we are talking this opportunity to upgrade the FMS version also.

 

To achieve this we are completely uninstalling old FMS(version 5.6.11) and reinstalling the new FMS(version 5.7.5) in the same server.

 

I have few question here could anyone please answer this please?

  1. We want to import all the customs rules and dashboard to new FMS. What is the best way to do this? Is this possible with different version of the FMS?
  2. After the installation will all the old Agents will connect back to the new FMS?

 

Can guide me what are all the other steps I need to consider here?

 

 

Thanks,

VML

    Hi Vivek,

    Having created new FMS's and connected them to the same Oracle database or a clone of the database on a different server I can confirm that all of the data, dashboards and rules functioned correctly under the new FMS however all of the relevant cartridges needed to be installed to get everything working again.

    I think the main thing would be to figure out how to convert the database from Oracle to SQL. That should reduce the amount of work you will need to do later.

    If it is really urgent then it may be a suggestion to go ahead and build the new FMS and database and get things monitored, then worry about the customisation later and importing everything. Sometimes it is nice to start with a clean slate.

    Connecting the current FGLAMs to the new FMS is simple and just requires changing the FMS upstream connection in the fglam.config.xml file under %FGLAMHome%/state/default/config/

    Have you raised a support call with Dell or Quest?
