TPM 7.1.1 Migration/Upgrade Objective Migrate TPM 5.1.1.2 server to TPM 7.1.1 level Gradual, phased migration for agents and depots N-1 principle of backward (version) compatibility Agents move to 7.1.1 in batches. Failures accommodated. One-step switch of TPM server Little to no additional hardware required Most artifact migration automatic. Rest: Data export & Docs In-place upgrade of agents beginning 5.1.1.2 Operational support of older agents (down to 5.1.0.2). Existing agent certificates to work with new agent manager Preserve the “Interface to the TPM black box” Upgrade TPM 7.1 sevrer to TPM 7.1.1 level

TPM 7.1.1 Migration/Upgrade Overview Migration: (TPM 5.1.1.2 TPM 7.1.1) ‘Big switch’ migration approach Upgrade: (TPM 7.1 TPM 7.1.1) ‘In-place’ upgrade approach
Our Migration Process Focuses on … Artifacts and Interfaces Migrating the artifacts from 5.1.1.2 to 7.1.1 Interfaces of different kinds APIs (also Web service interfaces) Data Formats (e.g., xml import formats) CLIs, Data Model entities, workflow language Skills and Tools Skills are closely related to the current tools customers use (for example, SPE, APDE) Preserving the tools - Preserves skill investment Timeline Ability to stretch the migration process so remote endpoints can migrate over time Ability to complete a critical amount of migration in a single maintenance window
Phase 0: Artifacts to migrate Minimal set needed to migrate. Largely done when DCM is moved Additional work needed TPM Workflows --- Preserved in TPM 7.1.1 Activity Plans --- Preserved in TPM 7.1.1 SPBs --- Preserved in TPM 7.1.1 Users, Roles, user/resource groups and Security Policies --- Migration Tooling and some manual mapping to new roles & permissions TPM Compliance Checks --- Preserved in TPM 7.1.1 Static Resource Groups -- Covered by schema & data migration (configure Sec. manually) DCM contents and Customer extensions -- Schema Migration and DB migration in 7.1.1 Default file repositories (eg. SPB storage) -- Will migrate with DB in 7.1.1 Discovery/Inventory scan schedules (TPM) -- Will migrate with DB in 7.1.1. Tooling Provided Some artifacts are not easy to move. Need Manual means: OOTB Reports and Customer Reports --- Manually rebuild using BIRT (can start w/ current sql queries) Customer code leveraging TPM Web service interfaces -- Minor changes needed Dynamic Group Definitions in TPM 5.x -- Manually create in 7.1.1. (can start w/ current sql queries) Web Replay Scenarios from TPM 5.x – Manually recreate in 7.1.1. (now Tpae based) TPMfOSD-EE images from TPM 5.1.1. – Need to deploy and recapture images in 7.1.1 Favorite Tasks in TPM 5.x -- Manually recreate in 7.1.1 Docs Provided
TPM 5.1.1.2 to 7.1.1. Migration: Gradual, phased migration process that leverages the existing infrastructure, minimizes disruption, and accommodates failures Common UI for Process Automation (Server + Desktop) TPM 7.1.1 Tpae 7.1.1 Depots, & Fed. DMSs 5 Datacenter & Distributed Servers 7.1.1 agents
Distribution Infrastructure (SDI) Details of Process Common UI for Process Automation (Server + Desktop) TPM User Interface Preparing for migration on the current 5.1.1 server box upgrade 511 box to 5112 level upgrade old agents to the right level (i.e., CAS 1.3.2.29) using the current workflows in TPM 5.1.1.2. Prepare necessary data export files (e.g., ldiff file for users/groups in TPM) backup 5112 db shut down 5112 box (Safety – allows reverting to 5.1.1.2) Prepare a 7.1.1 server box in parallel Installs 7.1.1 server code and prepares it for the big switch Big switch to 7.1.1 server in a maintenance Window System is operational now … After some days … start migrating depots & federated DMSs After all of SDI migrated, migrate agents to 7.1.1 level, in convenient batches TPM 7.1.1 TPM 5.1.1.2 TPAE Scalable Distribution Infrastructure (SDI) Datacenter & Distributed Servers
Topics Feature Objective (Problems Solved) Feature Overview Common Use Cases
TPM 7.1.1 Migration Use Case (5.1.1.2 7.1.1) 5.1.1.2 Box Pre-requisites (on the original 5.1.1.2 system) Upgrade 511 box to 5112 FP level Upgrade old agents to the right level (i.e., CAS 1.3.2.29) 5.1.1.2 Box Preparation (on the original 5.1.1.2 system) Run tpm511backup command to backup 5.1.1.2 artifacts including LDAP, database, configuration etc. 7.1.1 Box preparation Prerequisite environment (on the new 7.1.1 system) Install middleware on 711 box (use 711 MWI installer) Install WAS ifix Create max71db and maximo user Install TPM core 7.1.1 Box Big Switch (on the new 7.1.1 system) Run tpm711restore command to restore 5.1.1.2 database and configuration artifacts on 7.1.1 system Run tpm711migrate command to migrate database; migrate/register/configure CAS; install/update CDS/DMS; configure WAS Install BSI and TPM Web Components (on 7.1.1 Admin Workstation) Install BSI and TPM Web Components update hostname(ip) for Maximo in the maximo.property files Change Host Names (on the new 7.1.1 system) Run tpm711ChangeDBHost command to change database hostname to use the original 5.1.1.2 hostname Run tpm711ChangeOtherHost command to change hostname for other TPM artifacts
TPM 7.1.1 Migration Use Case (Cont..) Run master tcdriver update wkf - to finalize tcdriver migration - Triggered when TPM started (on the new 7.1.1 system) Recapture OSD images (on the new 7.1.1 system) Upgrade each depot, federated DMS pair from 5.1.1.2 to the 7.1.1 level Upgrade each set of endpoints from 5.1.1.2 to the 7.1.1 level Restore LDAP contents Restore LDAP password (depends on import ldif to be done) Migrate 5.1.1.2 access groups (depends on import ldif to be done) Recreate 5.1.1.2 Inventory Extension reports (if needed)
TPM 7.1.1 Upgrade Use Case (from 7.1 7.1.1) On TPM 7.1 server, run TPM 7.1.1 upgrade installer In-place upgrade on the same 7.1 box Upgrade base from Tpae 7.1.3 to Tpae 7.1.5 using the Solution Installer delta PMP install mechanism Upgrade TPM web component using the Solution Installer delta PMP install mechanism Upgrade TPM Core components (including the tcdriver upgrade and the schema upgrade) Upgrade agent to the latest 7.1.1 level using the agent upgrade workflow
TPM 7.1.1 Agent Upgrade Use Case Same process as 5.1.1.2 agent upgrade Uses SDI Depots and Agent Credentials The agent upgrade is performed using SPB The SPB contain the TCA and subagents upgrade A SPB per platform is created (AIX, HPIA64, HP, Linux86, LinuxPPC, LinuxS390, SolarisIX86, solaris and Windows)
BACK UPS
Summary Compelling reasons to move to 7.1.1 Gradual, phased, and failure-tolerant process No need to buy additional hardware – gradual switchover of server, depots Preserves investment in artifacts (SPBs, Activity Plans) and Skills Flexible timeline for migration while minimizing service down time
