Migration of Router, Logger and HDS from one datacenter to other

[pardha saradhi saladi]

Hello Guys,

I want to move my cisco ICM is managed by Service provider from his network. now i want to build my own ICM with in the network. how to perform this activity with minimum loss of data.

Note:- I am going to use new VM and IP Address and Hostname.

How can i retain same database from the existing production system to new servers.

migrate db to a same verison ICM? or different version?

I think since you want to migrate db to your own ICM, to start with you can build ICM Rogger is an isolated network with the same hostname and IP.

Take a SQL db backup froom prod and restore on new isolated ICM. Then you can add pgs/aws, upgrade, change hostname, IP etc.

Hi Kartik,

i am moving on to a same icm version.

is there any possibility to build the server with new IP and hostname and restore the SQL DB backup.

[Chintan Gajjar]

yes that is also possible, check out the upgrade guide for ICM and you will get the logic.you would need to use EDMT tool i guess.

EDMT works if you are upgrading and it needs connectivity to prod server, so it migrates the data over the network from one version to a higher version.

Since you dont want to change the version and copy data to a different setup with different hostname/IP - such requirements are not documented. I tried it once - however I used same hostname / IP on the new system and it owrked fine.

You have nothing to loose - you can try a diff hostname/ip and copy the DB - either it will work or not, if it doesnt do it again with same hostname/IP and then follow ICM hostname/IP change process.
