  • 1.  UIM Migration from Windows to Linux

    Posted Jun 30, 2017 03:39 PM

    Has anyone migrated an existing UIM instance from Windows to Linux?  I contacted CA support, and they won't provide any documentation on this, and told me to either ask here or engage professional services.

    So need a little more details.

    Are you currently running primary UIM and UMP on linux?

    What is your back end database?

    Are you changing that as well?

     

    The VERY high level would be to:

    1) install the same version UIM on the new windows server with the same DOMAIN name but different hub and robot name.

    2) install robot for UMP

    3) install UMP

    4) Point old hubs and tunnels to new primary UIM hub.

     

    If you can provide a little more details we might be able to provide more insght

    Current primary UIM and UMP are both on Windows (separate systems).  Backend DB is MS SQL, and we would like to leave that unchanged if possible.  We're attempting to migrate the app servers TO Linux.

    I got the impression while communicating with support that MS SQL backend with a Linux UIM and/or UMP won't work, but it wasn't stated outright.  Can you confirm if this configuration is or isn't supported?

    Currently it is not test or supported.

    If using Linux you will need to swich to mysql or oracle
