Migrate from VSOM/VMS to standalone components

[#1]

I have an existing site with several VMS servers, one of which also is running VSOM.

We are in the process of adding more VMS servers and will be moving VSOM to its own server.

Is there a way to migrate the VSOM server to is own server without having to recreate everything manually? I.E. could I back up VSOM on the old server and restore onto the new VSOM server?

Recreating 100+ users, having to get them to reset their passwords, recreating 50+ views and 300+ events is a way to guarantee we run into problems - plus the time it takes to do all of this manually.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

RAC

Hi Bob,

Yes, you can take a database backup from your current VSOM server and restore it on your new VSOM server. The backup will copy the complete VSOM database. And you would not need to recreate your information.

Take a look at the VSM Install/Upgrade guide for instructions on backing up and restoring VSOM server.

Hello Bob

A question

if I want to install Standalone (VSOM) mode, I can use the OVA alone leave active service VSOM? 
Thus I install VSM and VSOM on separate servers?

thanks
