What are Best Practices for Upgrading Control-M 9.0.20, 9.0.21 to a new target environment, whether its on a new platform or same platform with new target configurations? |
A new migration flow is introduced with Control-M 9.0.20 , replacing previous migration flows. Control-M 9.0.20 is only able to perform migration where the same Control-M 9.0.20 is being installed on the SOURCE and DESTINATION host. Therefore, any hardware update will also involve in-place upgrade as part of the flow. Control-M 9.0.20 migration can be achieved using one of the options below (option 1 is preferable) Option 1 1. Migration from the original Control-M version from SOURCE host to the same version on DESTINATION host. Verify that the existing version of Control-M is migrated successfully on the new DESTINATION host. 2. Perform an In-place Upgrade from the original version of Control-M to Control-M 9.0.20 on the new DESTINATION host Option 2 1. Perform an In-place Upgrade from the original version of Control-M to Control-M 9.0.20 on the SOURCE host 2. Perform Control-M 9.0.20 migration from the SOURCE host to the DESTINATION host Option 3 For v9.0.00 or v8.0.00 customers who prefer to keep their SOURCE environment until migration is complete. Also for customers where TARGET environment, OS level, is not supported with the OLD Control-M version. 1. Install NEW Control-M/EM 9.0.19 and Control-M/Server 9.0.19 on NEW VM (Separated) 2. Perform Migration from OLD Control-M/EM 9.0.00 (8.0.00) and Control-M/Server 9.0.00 (8.0.00) to NEW Control-M/EM 9.0.19 and Control-M/Server 9.0.19 on NEW VM 3, Perform all necessary verification that the NEW Migrated Control-M/EM 9.0.19 and Control-M/Server 9.0.19 on NEW VM is working 4. Perform In-place Upgrade of STAGING Control-M/EM 9.0.19 and Control-M/Server 9.0.19 on NEW VM to Control-M/EM 9.0.20 and Control-M/Server 9.0.20 on NEW VM Note: Migration tools of Control-M/Enterprise Manager from release 9.0.18.100 permit migration for the same version. Control-M/Server migration tools do permit migration on the same release for all releases. Option 1 for EM for release 9.0.18.000 or earlier may not be possible do to this limitation.
