ACS upgrade from 4.2.1.15 to ACS5.6

[Puneet Gupta]

HI 

We have bought new ACS5.6 SNS3415 Boxes , earlier we have ACS4.2.1.15   , now we want to migrate the data from old ACS to new ACS.

We have downloaded the ACS and trying to install 4.2.1.15 but getting the error

" ACS4.2.115 can only be installed on top of base version"

So we have installed the eval-ACS-4.2.0.124-SW  successfully. And now we are trying to install the 4.2.1.15 but we are getting eth below error

" 4.2.1.5 can not be installed on EVAL version"

How can we resolve this so that we can migrate the data to ACS5.6 via migration utility.

If you don't have the install disk I would suggest you contact TAC to get the original installation binaries from them. 

On a side note, I don't know how big your environment is but if it is not too big then I would recommend that you don't use the migration utility. It doesn't actually migrate everything and every time I have tried using I have never been that happy with it :) Instead, you can build your new environment fresh. 

Thank you for rating helpful posts!
