Migrate a Profile

A deployed or an autodeployed profile can be migrated from it's existing target device or service tag to a another identical target device or service tag.

When a migration is successful, the profile target assignment reflects the new target. If the migration is from a target device to a yet-to-be-seen service tag, then the profile's state is changed to “Assigned.”
NOTE
  • To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
  • Migrate profile will move settings defined by the profile (including deployed virtual identities) from source to the target.
  • You can force the migration of a profile even if the source device cannot be contacted. In this case, the user must ensure that there are no virtual identity conflicts.
  • True target specific attributes are not reclaimed from the 'source' server as part of migration. Due to this, same inventory details can be present on two servers post migration.

To Migrate a profile:

  1. On the Configuration > Profiles page, select a profile and click Migrate to activate the Migrate Profile wizard.
  2. On the Selection page:
    1. From the Select source profile drop down, select the profile that you want to migrate
    2. Click Select Target and from the Job target dialog box, select a target device and click Ok.
    3. If needed, select the 'Force the migration even if the source device cannot be contacted' check box.
      NOTE You must ensure that there are no virtual identity conflicts.
    4. Click Next.
  3. On the Schedule page select from one of the following:
    1. Select Update Now to migrate the profile settings immediately to the target.
    2. Select a Date and Time to schedule the migration.
  4. Click Finish.
A job is created to migrate profile's settings to the new target device. You can view the status of the job on the Monitor > Jobs page.
