Cisco Securtiy Manager migration

[denji]

Hello,

I want to migrate my CSM server from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019 (new machine), fot that I need minimum CSM ver 4.24, but our current CSM is running ver 4.20.

May I just install CSM 4.24 to the new server and proceed with migration from current system running CSM 4.20 - to migrate event data store and database without problems? Or I need to upgrade also my current CSM to ver 4.24 to be able migrate database and event data store?

Thank you

i would leave the exiting CSM as it is and turnoff by taking backup

build new CSM with 4.24 and restore : (look at Table 1. Application Upgrade Paths)

Also read release notes: CSM 4.24 only support TACACS+
