Migrating from CM 6.1.3 to CM 9.X

[waqas sardar]

Dear Team

1. We are migrating from CM 6.1.3.1000-16 to CM 9.X. I am using following path:

2. Backup the current CM 6.1.3.

3. Fresh Installed CM 6.1.3.1000-16 on the VM machine

4. Restore the old CM 6.1.3 backup on fresh CM 6.1.3.1000-16 in VM.

5. Upload the licenses.

6. Upgrade to CM 6.1.5

7. Upgrading direct from CM 6.1.5 to CM 9.X.

Anyone can please answer, is this path is correct?

Thanks

This occurs when you dont specify an NTP server in the 6.1.5 VM.  When you jump it to 9.1.2, it errors out.  Specify an NTP server in the 6.1.5 VM before you do the jump.

Also, you missed a step at the end where you have to build a fresh 9.1.2 VM and DRS from the "jumped" 9.1.2 to the fresh one.  This is because the 6.1.5 VM does not support VM and it causes a partition misalignment, which you will see in the 9.1.2 gui.
