Sr i write from Panama, i have the same problem ,


I currently own Cauim 8.5x with many servers and computers connected.
However, for server update issues, I will have to change the operating system. My question is how you can migrate to version 20.3 on a Windows 2019 server, and add without losing all the probes, statistics and revisions of the server that Cauim 8.5 has. I don't want to do double work, just export everything to the new server, but with version 20.3. Can you help me with this issue.

Please write me to [e-mail]

The Windows OS version is independent of the UIM install. So long as you maintain compatibility of supported versions.

My suggestion would be to do an in place upgrade of windows to the latest windows version supported by 8.5.

Then step through the UIM upgrades until you get to your desired version or an unsupported version of windows.

Then repeat upgrading the Windows OS. then UIM.  Until you get where you need to be.

There's the possible need to also upgrade your database software because 8.5 supported versions of SQL server that are not supported by 20.3.3 for instance. Same is true for the other database products.

Thank you very much Sr., I would like, can you send me the process if possible, manuals or other video. 

 

I learned this product on my own but I have to give support to clients, since the person who knew the product no longer works with us.
