ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
Situation
We have
encountered some issues with the migration utility that need to be
considered while planning your migration of ZAM 7.5 data to
Zenworks 10 Configuration Management.
Further
documentation on the Migration Utility can be found at:
Status
Reported to EngineeringAdditional Information
Before you
begin migrating data from ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 to ZENworks
10 Configuration Management, consider the following:
1. You
should back up both source and destination databases.
2. Do not
use version 10 of the migration utility if you plan on migrating
asset management data to ZENworks 10.x Configuration/Asset
Management at a later date. If you use version 10 of the ZENworks
Asset Management Migration utility, you will not be able to use the
upcoming release of the migration utility (version 10.1), which
will support migration of asset management data.
3.
Workstations must be migrated before the Adaptive Agent is
deployed. To ensure migrated devices are reconciled to active
devices in your ZENworks Configuration Management system, first
apply 10.0.3, migrate devices, and then
deploy the ZENworks Configuration Management Adaptive Agent to
those devices from the Discovered Devices tab in ZENworks Control
Center (under the Devices created via ZENworks Asset Management
Migration list.) If you wish to roll out ZENworks Configuration
Management in stages, you can still ensure that migrated device
inventory is reconciled to active devices in ZENworks Configuration
Management by migrating sets of workstations from ZENworks Asset
Management and then deploying the Adaptive Agent to those devices
using the method described above. See Also TID
3418590.
4. You can
only migrate objects once.
5. Network
devices are not migrated.
6. Custom
reports are not migrated.
7.
User-defined field data is not migrated. See Tid
3389180.
