How to migrate VM manager tool configuration central/local ?

  • 1.  How to migrate VM manager tool configuration central/local ?

    Posted Thu February 17, 2022 04:56 PM

    Hi Support,

    I'm at customer site to migrate bigfix/ilmt server from one location to another following this procedure:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=mbc-migrating-license-metric-tool-server-between-computers-same-operating-systems

    point 7 is about migrating VMManager configruation by copying files. My questions are

    Is it possible to use this procedure when VM Manager settings are central (managed by Bigfix) ?

    Is it possible to use this procedure to move from central (managed by bigfix) to local (managed by ilmt) ?

    if not, do you have a procedure to move this settings from central to local ?

    We have 57 definitions to handle it would be nice not to recreate them.

    Guillaume

    Hello

    Starting with 9.2.26 all versions of ILMT will have local vm manager tool installed.

    Yes you can change the type to local and actually is what we recommend. If you have any issues when just changing the VM type, you can create a new configuration using "local" and delete the old one.
