CAUTION Before you begin the migration, to avoid any potential loss of data you must perform the

prerequisite steps to back up your files, including the VCM databases, the CMFILES$ share, any files

used to customize the VCM Collector, reports that are exported to a non-default location, and your

certificates.

Prerequisites

n Understand the scenarios to migrate your VCM environment to VCM 5.7. See "Upgrading or Migrating

VCM" on page 127.

n Perform the prerequisite steps to migrate your VCM environment to VCM 5.7. See "Prerequisites to

Migrate VCM" on page 140.

n Understand how to detach and attach a SQL server database in SQL Server Management Studio. See the

online Microsoft MSDN Library.

n Understand how to use the sp_changedbowner stored procedure. See SQL Server Books Online in the

online Microsoft MSDN Library.

n Determine if your 64-bit Collector machine is configured for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

n Use the SQL Migration Helper Tool to create a script for scheduled jobs on your Collector. You can then

import the scheduled jobs into your 64-bit Collector.

n Use the SQL Migration Helper Tool to create a script that contains your existing login and role

membership information on your Collector. You can then import your logins and roles into your 64-bit

Collector.

Web site or obtain the VCM 5.7 CD.

2. Install SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 on your 64-bit VCM Collector.

3. Stop the VCM Collector service and the VCM Patch Management service.

4. On your VCM Collector, use SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer to detach the VCM

databases.

5. On your 64-bit Collector, use SQLServer Management Studio Object Explorer to attach or restore the

VCM databases to SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012.

For a split installation, you must attach the databases from the database server to SQL Server 2008 R2

or 2012.

6. On your 64-bit Collector, verify that the owner for the restored or attached databases is set to the sa

account or the VCM service account.

databases.
