Figure 1-2 VCEM import 9. You are prompted for the data encryption password used during snapshot creation. Enter the password. 10. If the VCEM 1.10 system is using a remote database server, you are prompted for the UNC path to a previously-created, writable, shared directory on the database server. The path is of the form \\\. This is not required if the database server is on the same system as the VCEM 1.10 platform. The migration begins. You are prompted when the process completes. Post-data migration tasks 1. Delete the snapshot files. 2. Shut down and restart HP SIM on the VCEM 1.10 system. 3. Decommission the VCEM 1.0 platform. 4. Delete the shared directory created on the remote database server, if required. 5. After a successful migration, you can delete the backup databases created during the migration process on both the 1.0 and 1.10 VCEM systems. To delete the backup databases, execute vcmigrate -clean on both systems. IMPORTANT: After you complete an export from VCEM 1.0, you can no longer manage your VC modules with the VCEM 1.0 platform. The process of creating the VCEM 1.0 snapshot moves VCEM-related database information to a temporary database to prevent the inadvertent management of VC modules by more than one management platform. See "Troubleshooting" for the procedure necessary to restore this data in the event of a failure of the migration process. The snapshot file created during this procedure contains sensitive data that is encrypted, yet represents a security risk. HP recommends that you maintain this file only as long as required to complete the migration process. After a successful migration, securely delete this file. Post-data migration tasks 11
