Migrating from a Prior Release of ISM

ISM V2R2 does not coexist with ISM releases prior to V2R0. If your site uses ISM Release V1R3.0, you can migrate existing mainframe definitions and user profiles to ISM V2R2.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Migrating from ISM V2R0

• Migrating from ISM V1R3.0

• Benefits of Migrating

• Handling ISM Data

• Converting ISM V1R3.0 Files

• Planning the Next Steps

Migrating from ISM V2R0

The configuration files for ISM V2R2 and V2R0 are upward compatible.

You can use your ISM V2R0 VSAM files with ISM V2R2.

Note If you update the ISM setup for V2R2, then revert to ISM V2R0 and update the setup, you will lose your settings that are new in ISM V2R2.

Migrating from ISM V1R3.0

If you are migrating from ISM V1R3.0, you can follow the procedures in the "Migrating from ISM V1R3.0" and "Uninstalling ISM V1R3.0" chapters of "CiscoWorks Blue ISM Installation Guide V2R1.0". These procedures will allow you to convert you existing ISM V1R3.0 router definitions and operator profiles to the format used by ISM version 2.

Benefits of Migrating

Benefits of migrating ISM V1R3.0 data to ISM V2 include:

•Use ISM V1R3.0 router definitions, and operator profiles from ISM V2.

•Execute ISM V1R3.0 by using a procedure from a previous NetView version. However, you must first back up the NetView DSIPARM data set, and the NetView procedure used in ISM V1R3.0.

•Use all router management functions within the enhanced ISM V2 environment.

Handling ISM Data

Migrating ISM V1R3.0 router definitions and configuration data converts a copy of your existing data files so they are compatible with ISM V2. The original ISM V1R3.0 data files remain intact.

When you migrate your ISM V1R3.0 installation, you convert a copy of your existing ISM V1R3.0 data files to the new VSAM key structures and new VSAM data sets that are supported in ISM V2.

Converting ISM V1R3.0 Files

After completing the ISM V2 installation, you must convert ISM V1R3.0 files. To convert the ISM V1R3.0 files:

Step 1 Copy member NSPDSB from the NSPI200 samplib to the NetView DSIPARM data set used in the conversion. The NetView CLISTs automatically perform the conversion functions:

•NSPCONVR—Converts the router control files

•ISMCONVU—Copies the ISM V1R3.0 operator profiles to the ISM V2 control data set

Step 2 Run NetView with ISM V2.

Step 3 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

ALLOCATE FI(NSPDSB) DS(xxxxx) SHR
Where xxxxx is the name of the NSPDSA data set used for ISM V1R3.0.

NetView responds as follows:
CNM272I NSPDSB IS NOW ALLOCATED

Step 4 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

Start task=nspdsb
NetView responds as follows:
DSI166I NSPDSB IS ACTIVATED BY HAL2DSI556I NSPDSB : VSAM DATASET 'OPEN' COMPLETED, DDNAME = 'ISMDSB' RETURN CODE = X'00', ACB ERROR FIELD = X'00'DSI530I 'NSPDSB ' : 'DST' IS READY AND WAITING FOR WORK

Step 5 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

nspconvu
NetView responds as follows:
NSPCONVU 105 User Records Copied.

Step 6 When the NSPCONVU command executes, type the nspconvr and press Enter.

Step 7 Verify that the output is similar to the following output and that you receive the "NSPR to IR Conversion complete" message:
* CNM01 NSPCONVRC CNM01 NSPCONVR 170 Records Converted>>This means that 85 routers were migrated.Each router from ISM Release 2 will be converted to two records in ISM Version 2.C CNM01 NSPCONVR NSPR to IR Conversion Complete

Planning the Next Steps

Once you have migrated to ISM V2R2, you must configure the ISM setup options.
