Upgrading from Core Package 32-bit to Core Package 64-bit

OnCommand Unified Manager Core Package 5.2 does not support installation on a 32-bit server. Before you upgrade to Core Package 5.2 in your Windows or Linux server, you must back up and restore your 32-bit DataFabric Manager server database.

Before you begin

The installation directory must have twice the space of the backup data.
The restore operation creates a temporary copy of the backup data and therefore the installation directory should have enough space.
The new DataFabric Manager server must be on the same subnet as the old DataFabric Manager server.

Steps

Create a backup of the 32-bit DataFabric Manager server database by running the following command:
dfm backup create backup_filename
Install the OnCommand Unified Manager Core Package 5.2 on your 64-bit server.
Copy the 32-bit database backup to the 64-bit server.
Restore the 32-bit database backup on the 64-bit server by running the following command:
dfm backup restore backup_filename
Run the following command to the view the old paths for the setup options:
dfm options list setup_option_name

You should check the path for the following setup options: databaseBackupDir, dataExportDir, dfmencKeysDir, perfArchiveDir, perfExportDir, pluginsDir, reportDesignPath, reportsArchiveDir, and scriptDir.

Example
- Run the following command:
  dfm options list dataExportDir
  Result: The command displays the path in which the dataExportDir data is located: installation_directory/data/ in Windows and /opt/NTAPdfm/data/ in Linux.
Copy the data for each option to the new 64-bit install directory.
Example
Copy the data from the installation_directory/data/ location to the new installation directory in Windows.

Alternatively, copy the data from the /opt/NTAPdfm/data/ location to the new installation directory in Linux.
Restart the DataFabric Manager server services by running the command:
dfm service stop
dfm service start
