Upgrading IP manger 7.0.3 to 8.1.3
Dear All,
We are running at IP manager 7.0.3 and want to upgrade the same to a higher version 8.1.3.
Can you please guide me with some quick steps. So far I have got the information that It is needed to be installed freshly on the different directory of the same senver and then we can migrate the old version to newer version.
looking for some dcouementation on the same or some quick step will also be very helpful.
Regards,
Manish

You can find the info you are looking for in 8.1.3 install guide.
Yes, you need to start fresh. You do not have to be on the same physical server. There is sm_migrate utility that is shipped with 8.1.3 that can be used for migration on the same or different hosts
If it is on a different host the utility and some Perl files will need to be copied over to the old host. Then a tar pkg will be created and you will need to get it over to the new host. The okg will contain all the customizations and config changes you have made. It will also have RPS files. So if you have a lot of backups in rps directory I would clear them out and leave the ones that you need.

To add to what the previous user mentioned, we are in the process of refining the migration/upgrade utility for subsequent releases. If there is room for improvement, please let us know. If it worked perfectly, please *also* let us know. Some positive feedback on occasion is nice to hear!
