Chapter 14. Using the InfoPrint Manager System Migration (ismu) Utility You use the InfoPrint System Migration (ismu) utility for backing up, restoring, or migrating your InfoPrint Manager environment. This utility is based on the existing server archive functionality, and it backs up your current configuration from a specific level of InfoPrint Manager and restores it on the same or different InfoPrint Manager environment. Using this utility, you can back up any level of your InfoPrint Manager environment. When using this utility for restoring purposes, we recommended having the InfoPrint Manager and the backup archive at the same level. If they are not at the same level and you proceed with the restoration or migration process, two warning messages are displayed, stating that you are not on the same level and the results might be unpredictable. This still enables you to have the backup or restore process ran at slightly different levels (for example x.2.0.255 versus x.2.0.256). If you need to perform a migration between different levels of InfoPrint Manager, follow these steps: v Make sure that InfoPrint Manager is at the same level on the backup and target environments v Perform the backup and restore required operations, as documented in InfoPrint Manager: Reference. v If necessary, upgrade InfoPrint Manager to the required level. Note: v The ismu utility must not be used to perform crossover migrations, such as migrating the AIX environment to the Windows environment and backwards. Use this command to backup and restore only similar operating system environments. v For the Version 4 Release 2 Version 2 Release 2 customers convenience, we are delivering the InfoPrint Manager System Migration Utility on the server CDs starting with the next update for Release 2. Supported operating environments The ismu utility can run on any of these operating systems: v AIX 5.1 v AIX 5.2 v AIX 5.3 v AIX 6.1 v Windows 2000 Server SP4 v Windows 2000 Professional SP4 v Windows XP Professional SP2 v Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 v Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 © Copyright InfoPrint Solutions Company 1998, 2010 143

Chapter 14. Using the InfoPrint Manager System Migration
(ismu) Utility
You use the InfoPrint System Migration (ismu) utility for backing up, restoring, or

existing server archive functionality, and it backs up your current configuration
from a specific level of InfoPrint Manager and restores it on the same or different

Using this utility, you can back up any level of your InfoPrint Manager
environment.
When using this utility for restoring purposes, we recommended having the
InfoPrint Manager and the backup archive at the same level. If they are not at the
same level and you proceed with the restoration or migration process, two
warning messages are displayed, stating that you are not on the same level and the
results might be unpredictable. This still enables you to have the backup or restore
process ran at slightly different levels (for example x.2.0.255 versus x.2.0.256).
If you need to perform a migration between different levels of InfoPrint Manager,
follow these steps:
v
Make sure that InfoPrint Manager is at the same level on the backup and target
environments
v
Perform the backup and restore required operations, as documented in
InfoPrint
Manager: Reference.
v
If necessary, upgrade InfoPrint Manager to the required level.
Note:
v
The ismu utility must not be used to perform crossover migrations, such as
migrating the AIX environment to the Windows environment and backwards.
Use this command to backup and restore only similar operating system
environments.
v
For the Version 4 Release 2 Version 2 Release 2 customers convenience, we are
delivering the InfoPrint Manager System Migration Utility on the server CDs
starting with the next update for Release 2.
