Upgrading QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x to QPM 4.0
QPM 4.0 supports upgrade from QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x.
To perform upgrade, make sure that you have purchased the upgrade license for QPM 4.0, and also the additional incremental device pack licenses for QPM 4.0 (in case QPM 3.2.x already has the the device limit of more than 500 devices).
Before upgrading to QPM 4.0, it is recommended that you export the QPM application data from QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x, by copying and running the export.pl utility (available in the QPM 4.0 product DVD), in the MDC\qpm\bin folder in the QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x server.
For this, you can follow the steps mentioned in Migrating QPM 3.2.x Data to a Remote QPM 4.0 Server.
To upgrade QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x to QPM 4.0, use the following installation sequence:
Step 1
The CS 2.2 data is migrated automatically to CS 3.0.5 during this process. You can also back up the CS 2.2 data to a location you specify during this install process.
Step 2
QPM application data is migrated automatically when upgrading QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x to QPM 4.0.
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 3-10 for details.
Migrating to a New QPM Server
You can migrate QPM information from one QPM 4.0 server to another. This section describes the sequence of tasks for migrating QPM 4.0 information to a new QPM 4.0 server running Windows.

Migrating QPM 3.2.x Data to a Remote QPM 4.0 Server
You can migrate QPM data alone from a QPM 3.2.x server to a remote QPM 4.0 server, and use that data in the QPM 4.0 server

Exporting and Importing QPM Application Data
The following topics describe how to use the QPM export and import utilities:

Exporting QPM Application Data
You can export the following QPM application data during an upgrade:
•
•
•
•
Use the export utility when you want to migrate and upgrade QPM 3.2 or QPM 3.2.x application data to QPM 4.0, or when you want to migrate QPM 4.0 from one server to another.
You need to specify the destination folder to which you want to export the application data.
To export QPM application data:
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 the MDC\qpm\bin folder, and select Cmd prompt here. The Command window opens in the folder containing the export utility.
Step 2
•
cd d:\QPM4_0\QPM_4_0_installation\Windows_K9
where d is your DVD drive, and then enter
NMSROOT\bin\perl\export.pl destination folder,
where NMSROOT is the CS installation folder and destination folder is the full path of an existing folder to which you want to export the data.•
–
–
where NMSROOT is the CS installation folder, and destination folder is the full path of an existing folder to which you want to export the data.Step 3
The utility stops CiscoWorks services, and exports the QPM information to the specified destination folder.
After the export process has completed, the CiscoWorks services are restarted.
Importing QPM Application Data
Use the import utility to import any QPM application data, which was exported using the QPM 4.0 export utility, into QPM 4.0.
Note
When you use the import utility, any existing QPM data is overwritten.
To import QPM application data:
Step 1
a.
The Run dialog box opens.
b.
The Command window opens.
To run the import utility from the QPM server, in Windows Explorer go to the installation folder. Right-click the MDC\qpm\bin folder, and select Cmd prompt here. The Command window opens in the folder containing the import utility.
Step 2
•
–
–
where NMSROOT is the QPM installation folder, export folder is the full path of the folder to which you exported the data.Step 3
The utility stops CiscoWorks services, and imports the QPM information.
After the import process has completed, the CiscoWorks services are restarted.
