Management Server Migration Tool

Important - You must always use the Management Server Migration Tool of the version, to which you upgrade. Download the applicable package from the R80.10 Home Page.

Before an upgrade, a set of utilities search your installation for known upgrade issues. The output of the utilities is saved to a log file and an HTML file, with these message types:

• Action items before the upgrade: Errors that you must repair before the upgrade (for example, an invalid policy name), and warnings of issues for you to decide whether to fix before upgrade. Some messages recommend that you run utilities to fix an issue. In most cases, you must fix the issues manually.
• Action items after the upgrade: Errors and warnings, to be handled after the upgrade.
• Information messages: Items to be aware of. For example, an object type is not supported in the upgraded version but is in your database and is converted during the upgrade.

When you open the Management Server Migration Tool package, you see these files:
