1.  Close all open Security Manager user interfaces and stop the NetIQ Security Manager and NetIQ Security Manager Core service on all central computers.

2.  Run the following SQL query using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio\New Query to update the map table in the OnePoint database:

Use ONEPOINT
Update MAPTABLE
set LOGDATABASESERVER = '<new SQL server name>' where LOGDATABASESERVER = '<old SQL server name>'

3.  Update the Configuration table in the OnePoint database on the SQL 2005 database server by completing the following steps:

 a. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio\New Query and run this query to find all of the old database server entries.           
      

Use ONEPOINT
Select * from CONFIGURATION where DATAVALUE = Old_server_name
                 
 b. Update those entries with the new SQL 2005 database server name
                 
 c. Close and save the Configuration table.

4.  Detach and copy the LM database .mdf and .ldf files from the old log database server to the new log SQL 2005 database server.   The log database names use the following format:

LM_YYYYMMDD_001  Where YYYYMMDD is the date in local time on the log database server.

5.  Detach and copy the LogManagerSummary .mdf and .ldf files from the old log database server to the new SQL 2005 database server.

6.  Attach the log databases to the new SQL 2005 database server.

Upgrading The old LM log db SQL 2000 server to SQL 2005:

This is just a straight SQL upgrade, no other configuration is needed.  You should be able to run forensic reports against the old LM?s on the new SQL 2005 server.
