3.3 Migrating ZENworks 11 SP4 Data to ZENworks 2017 Appliance

After you have deployed and configured the ZENworks 2017 Appliance, you are ready to migrate ZENworks 11 SP4 data to the appliance.

  1. In the supported browser, launch the URL that is displayed in the Appliance console.

    For example, https://<ipAddress>:9443

  2. Log in to ZENworks Appliance with the root or zenadmin credentials as configured in Deploying and Configuring the ZENworks 2017 Appliance under Step 5.

  3. Verify that all of the migration requirements are met, select the I have verified that all necessary steps have been completed check box, then click Next to display the ZENworks Management Zone credential screen.

    If all of the migration requirements are not met, click Cancel, complete the requirements, then log into the ZENworks Appliance console again to complete the migration.

    IMPORTANT:If the appliance is a second Primary Server and database is an Embedded Sybase, then you must ensure that sybase services (sybase-asa and sybase-audit-asa) on the first Primary Server are started.

  4. Specify the ZENworks administrator credentials (for example, administrator and password) to access the ZENworks Management Zone.

  5. In the ZENworks Licensing page, enter the ZENworks 2017 product license, and then click Finish.

    The ZENworks migration begins and it might take several minutes. The migration process will continue in the background even if you close the browser or the browser times out.

  6. When the ZENworks migration is finished, click Close to display the ZENworks Appliance configuration summary screen.

  7. Click Open ZENworks Control Center to see your migrated data and continue managing your ZENworks system.
