21.0 Migrating 32-bit OEM Sybase database to 64-bit Sybase on a 64-bit machine

  1. Stop the OEM Sybase database service on the source machine (32-bit).

  2. Use the ZENworks media on the 64-bit machine and start the OEM Sybase database installation by using the following command:

    • Windows: setup.exe -c

    • Linux: setup.sh -c

  3. Select OEM Sybase as the Database Type.

  4. Select the default path for a 64-bit machine as the database path for the Directory. If you select any other path, the OEM database installation fails.

    The default paths are as follows:

    • 32-bit machine: Program Files/Novell/ZENworks

    • 64-bit machine: Program Files (x86)/Novell/ZENworks

    If a non-default port and path are used for the OEM database installation on the source machine (32-bit), it is recommended to select the same path structure on the 64-bit machine as well.

    If a default port and path are used for the OEM database installation on the source machine (32-bit), it is recommended to select the same path structure on the 64-bit machine as well.

  5. Enter the OEM database details (Database Name, Database Engine Name, Database Server Name, and Port). This information should be the same as that of the 32-bit OEM Sybase database, except for the IP address of the 32-bit machine, which will be changed after the OEM database installation on the 64-bit machine.

  6. Stop the Sybase service on the 64-bit machine

  7. Take a backup of the database folder from the 32-bit machine (includes the OEM Sybase database file) and replace the database file on the 64-bit machine with the backed-up (32-bit) database file.

  8. Verify whether the CONF file on the 64-bit machine is updated with the proper OEM database path and port number respectively.

    NOTE:There is no need to replace the CONF file, as a fresh install of the OEM database is done on the 64-bit machine using the same database credentials as that of the 32-bit machine.

  9. Disable the network card on the 32-bit machine.

  10. Configure the 32-bit machine's IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, preferred DNS, host name and DNS suffix on the 64-bit machine.

  11. Reboot the 64-bit machine.
