Hello all,
One of our customer has Webex installed in VMWare environment on Demo Licenses.
Customer has purchased dedicated Webex appliance WMS-EZ-C220-50I with permanent licenses.
We need to migrate database from one VMWare to webex appliance & install licenses.
Can any body share the procedure of migrating Webex Database from one VMware to another VMWare ?
Regards

Correct, that is a 1U C220 UCS Server.
The process for migrating hosts is as follows; You will need both Host servers to be managed by the same vCentre for this process to work.

Hi,
Is there a reason why you don't want to migrate the existing servers to the new UCS box? This can be done simply via the vCentre and you could then just apply the permanent licences to the server - WebEx has its own Enterprise Licence Management server inbuilt so its simple to request the license for this.

Richard

Hi richard,
Thanks for reply.
I believe WMS-EZ-C220-50I is UCS itself .. correct me if i am wrong here ?
So its like we are shifting from one UCS to dedicated UCS Webex server.
Can you share the procedure through vCenter ?

Thank you richard for quick reply.
So steps should be :
take backup of webex 1.5 using veeam backup tool.
restore it into new host (esxi) using veeam bakcup tool.
can the backup of webex 1.5 be restore on webex 2.0 ?

This would be a full server backup so when you restore it to the new VMWare Host it will still be a CWMS 1.5, once restored it can be upgraded to CWMS 2.0

Hi,
The upgrade methodology is down to personal choice so go for the one you feel most comfortable in completing.
Yes that media file is OK for the upgrade.
