Procedure

  1. Do not add new Device Servers to your NCM deployment until you completed migration.
  2. On existing Device Servers that are staying on the same hosts, uninstall 4.1.x and install NCM 9.4 following DS installation procedure in the Install Guide.
  3. If you are moving one of your existing DS servers to a new host, follow installation procedure in the Install Guide and perform the steps below

    Update the InfraDB entry with the new hostname of the Device Server. This is required so that device to DS mappings is updated with the new hostname of the DS. To update the InfraDB entry, perform the following steps:

    1. From the [Product directory], run the command: 
      .\cgi-bin\cflist.cgi > cflist.txt
    2. Edit the cflist.txt to change the Device server FQDN and IP address to the new Device server FQDN and IP address.For example, POP 1000 “<hostname>”......ADDR=<IP address>

      Please note: In case of multiple device servers, entries for all the device server hostnames should be updated.

    3. Run the command: 
      .\cgi-bin\cfwrite.cgi < cflist.txt
  4. Manually update the cm_device_server table with the updated Device Server hostname

    To update the cm_device_server table, run the following command from [Product directory]\db\controldb\bin : 

    psql.exe -h <database_server_IP_address> -d voyencedb -U pgdba -p 5435 -c "update cm_device_server set device_server_name='Device_Server_name';"
Example:
psql.exe -h <database_server_IP_address> -d voyencedb -U pgdba    -p 5435 -c “update cm_device_server SET device_server_name ='linb056.lss.vmware.com';”
