Hello team how are you,

I am coming to you for support, as I want to understand how to use IBM's AMU tool for migrations from APICv5 to APICv10. In my case I have an APICv10 environment over Openshift on IBM Cloud (ROKs), which works quite well, & i want to test how to use this tool.

I understand that to run it it is required to have a backup of an APICv5 & I have obtained a: v5extract.e2e.121420.tar.gz to test a migration, but I don't know how to start.

If you could share a step by step on how to do this exercise and understand it in passing, it would be excellent.

Thanks friends.

Hello Cesar, 

I escalated your question to our team and they have sent the following instructions from the knowledge center: Migrating a Version 5 deployment - you will be able to find the instructions you need to make the migration, just change it to the specific version that you are migrating to. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help!

Hello, thank you very much for answering,

In my case these are the steps I have done:

1_ I have the apic-migrate-utility downloaded locally and installed.

2_ I understand a test Backup called: apic6-2019-01-08.tar.gz

3_ I have these URLs that I have taken from my Cloud Manager of my APIC working in ROKs.

* https://ins-apic-0-1be6f0a5-portal-director-cp4i.cluster-test-banco-popula-ccc03eca20d26e6ac64511f874a64b9b-0000.us-south.containers.appdomain.cloud

* https://ins-apic-0-1be6f0a5-portal-web-cp4i.cluster-test-banco-popula-ccc03eca20d26e6ac64511f874a64b9b-0000.us-south.containers.appdomain.cloud

4_ I have performed the Extract locally from the APICv5 DB like this:

$ cd C:\AMU
$ apicm archive:unpack apic6-2019-01-08.tar.gz --accept-license --saveErrorLog=ErrorLog-unpack.log --saveInfoLog=InfoLog-unpack.log

5_ Then, I validate that the directories of the extracted APIC Components are generated (starting with the Provider Organization).

6_ Finally, I am wanting to Remotely Upload ROKs from the Consuming Organization and its content:

$ apicm archive:push https://ins-apic-0-1be6f0a5-portal-director-cp4i.cluster-test-banco-popula-ccc03eca20d26e6ac64511f874a64b9b-0000.us-south.containers.appdomain.cloud C:\AMU\cloud\provider-orgs\chandrikas-org --saveErrorLog=ErrorLog-push-admin-org.log --saveInfoLog=InfoLog-push-admin-org.log --apigw-only 

But I haven't been able to, I don't know if between each of the steps I've done I have to do additional steps (I think so), but I would like you to help me with it.

Thanks.

Complementing the above according to this graph, these 3 steps are the ones that I would not have done & that I do not know what to do.

Apparently I went from UNPACK to PUSH straight away.

Due to this, I ask for your support to complete my missing steps that I do not understand how to do.

Thanks.
