Migrating WCS Data to NCS

[Anthony Fitzgerald]

Hi,

I've been trying to migrate in my exported data from WCS to NCS as per the release notes but its not working for me.

We generated a licence from the UID and serial number for our VM install of NCS. I see mention of upgrade licenses do i need one of those?

Do I have to import the license separately from  WCS. I thought that the export would include license + data.

I thought this would be straightforward but it doesn't seem that way. Is there anything that I'm leaving out or that i need to do to get this migration work.

Attached output from migration.

All help greatly appreciated.

Did you purchase a WCS to NCS migration license. This allows you to convert your WCS license to be used in NCS.

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

It was a licensing issue and we've finally resolved that. So i now have all our AP licenses imported into NCS.

I have run the migration again for the WCS data to be imported and it doesn't seems to have worked or is there something else i've to do. According to the release notes it just tells you to log in after the migration.

Any ideas?

Forgot to get back to you on this one Scott. The license was the main issue afterwards I just had some problems with tftping the data from the WCS to NCS servers. Resolved that then.

Thanks.

What issue are you having? What version of WCS and what version of NCS are you migrating to?

WCS version 7.0.220

NCS version 1.1.1.24

I am trying migrate wcs data to ncs. When I tried this migrate, I have this issue:

ERROR: invalid backup file version. Exception: Error while unzipping invalid wcs

When I exported this wcs file, I exported wcs on .nmsbackup, do I need of .zip file? Can I convert this nmsbackup to .zip or do I need export again??

thanks a lot

You need to run the export again. After the export, you should have a zip file. That's how you know the export was successful.

You just need to search for WCS to NCS 1.0 or 1.1 migration. Then another search for NCS 1.1 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2

Here is one link
