Upgrading and Migrating QPM
This chapter contains the following topics:
•
Migrating to a New QPM Server
•
Upgrading to QPM 3.2
If QPM 3.0.x, or QPM 3.1 is already installed on the server, use the following installation sequence to upgrade to QPM 3.2:
We recommend that you export all QPM application data from QPM 3.x using the export.exe utility on the QPM 3.2 installation CD. See Exporting QPM 3.x Application Data for details.

Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
QPM permission roles have been upgraded since QPM 3.0.x. Before you begin to work with QPM, ensure that you have the appropriate permissions. See Chapter 3, "Setting Up the QPM Server" for details.
If you are working with ACS user permissions, register the new QPM user permissions in CiscoWorks and ACS, if required. See Working with ACS Device Groups and User Permissions, page 3-8 for details.
You can import QPM 3.x application data into QPM 3.2 using the import.exe utility on the QPM 3.1 installation CD, or on the QPM server. See Importing QPM 3.x Application Data for details.
Note
If you are upgrading to QPM 3.2 on a new server, you can skip step 1
Migrating to a New QPM Server
You can migrate QPM information from one QPM 3.2 server to another. This topic describes the sequence of tasks for migrating QPM information to a new QPM server.
We recommend that you export all QPM application data from the old QPM server using the export.exe utility on the QPM installation CD. See Exporting QPM 3.x Application Data for details.

If you are working with ACS user permissions, register the new QPM server in CiscoWorks and ACS. See Working with ACS Device Groups and User Permissions, page 3-8 for details.
You can import QPM application data using the import.exe utility on the QPM installation CD, or on the QPM server. See Importing QPM 3.x Application Data for details.
Exporting and Importing QPM Application Data
The following topics describe how to use the QPM 3.2 export and import utilities.
•
•
The export and import utilities are available on the QPM CD-ROM, and are copied to the QPM server in the installation process.
For information about exporting QPM 2.1.x database information, see Appendix B, "Exporting QPM 2.1.x Databases."
Exporting QPM 3.x Application Data
You can export the following QPM 3.x application data:
•
•
•
•
Use the export utility when you want to migrate and upgrade QPM 3.0.x, or QPM 3.1 application data to QPM 3.2, or when you want to migrate QPM 3.2 from one server to another.
You specify the destination folder to which you want the application data exported.
When upgrading QPM 3.x application data, you must use the export utility from the QPM 3.2 installation CD-ROM, before you uninstall QPM 3.x. See Upgrading to QPM 3.2.
Step 1
a.
The Run dialog box opens.
b.
The Command window opens.
To run the export utility from the QPM server, in Windows Explorer go to the installation folder. Right-click on the MDC\qpm\bin folder, and select Cmd prompt here. The Command window opens in the folder containing the export utility.
Step 2
•
d:\QPM 3.2 installation\W2K\export.exe destination folder
where d is your CD-ROM drive, and destination folder is the full path of an existing folder to which you want to export the data.•
–
–
where destination folder is the full path of an existing folder to which you want to export the data.The utility stops CiscoWorks services, and exports the QPM information to the specified destination folder. When the export process is finished, the CiscoWorks services are restarted.
Importing QPM 3.x Application Data
Use the import utility to import the QPM application data from the QPM 3.2 export utility into QPM 3.2. If you have exported QPM application data from QPM 3.0.x,or QPM 3.1, the import utility automatically upgrades the data for QPM 3.2.
