Issue
This article provides information on completing a successful migrating from RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 production data to RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 using the Migration Assessment Utility.
Resolution

RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 software comes in three form factors:

  • As a virtual appliance running on VMware (Authentication Manager 8.0 and higher),
  • As a virtual appliance running on Microsoft Hyper-V (Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 and higher), or
  • As a hardware appliance.

Each option is bundled with the SUSE Enterprise Linux operating system.

NOTE:  As a prerequisite of migrating to Authentication Manager 8.1, the Authentication Manager 6.1 servers must be at Authentication Manager 6.1.2 in order to create a server and/or log database dump file that will be used to perform the migration to Authentication Manager 8.1 or Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1.  If your Authentication Manager servers are below 6.1.2, please contact RSA technical support.

To download RSA Authentication Manager 8.1, the migration assessment utility and documentation

  1. Download the utility and documentation required to complete the process.
    1. If you have not yet downloaded Authentication Manager 8.1, review the steps on How to download RSA Authentication Manager 8.x full kits and service packs from RSA Community  Be sure to download the RSA Auth Manager 8.1 – Extra file (rsa-am-extras-8.1.0.0.0.zip).
    2. Download Using the RSA Authentication Manager Migration Assessment Utility to upgrade from RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1  
    3. Download the RSA Authentication Manager Documentation
    4. Review the RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.0 Migration Preparation Guide.  


To run the utility on a Windows server

  1. Unzip the am_migration_assessment_utility_<datestamp>.zip into a working directory.  ​
  2. As a local administrator, create a directory named migration in the $RSA_HOME\utils directory.  By default, this would be C:\Program Files\RSA Authentication Manager\utils on an Authentication Manager 6.1 server or C:\authmgr\utils on an RSA SecurID Appliance 2.0.2 box.
  3. Copy the 6.1_migration_assessment.tcl file to either C:\Program Files\RSA Authentication Manager\utils \tcl\bin\ or C:\authmgr\utils\tcl\bin\.
  4. Open a command prompt and navigate to either C:\Program Files\RSA Authentication Manager\utils or C:\authmgr\utils.  
  5. Enter the following command:
..\tcl-sd.exe 6.1_migration_assessment.tcl
As an example:
User-added image
  1. Open the file generated called 6.1_migration_assessment_mmddyyhhmm.html in a web browser to review the results.  An example of the output is below:
User-added image

To run the utility on a UNIX server

  1. Unzip the am_migration_assessment_utility_datestamp.zip into a working directory.
  2. As a root user create a working folder in /tmp called migration.
  3. Create a new shell script called migration_report.sh in /tmp/migration. 
  4. Edit the migration_report.sh using an editor such as vi.  
  5. Copy the text shown below into the script and save it. 
. /etc/sdace.txt
ACE=`dirname $USR_ACE`
DLC=$ACE/rdbms/
UTILS=$ACE/utils/
PROMSGS=$DLC/promsgs
PATH=$USR_ACE:$DLC/bin:$ACE/utils:$ACE/utils/oldutil:$PATH
PROPATH=$USR_ACE/proapi/adbapi.pl:$USR_ACE/protrig:$USR_ACE/proapi:$USR_ACE
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$USR_ACE
export USR_ACE VAR_ACE DLC PROMSGS PATH PROPATH  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cat $USR_ACE/version.txt
echo "ACE/Server administration command environment configured.\n\n"
$UTILS/tcl/bin/tcl-sd $UTILS/tcl/bin/6.1_migration_assessment.tcl
  1. Change the permissions on the migration_report.sh, using the chmod command, as in the example below:
chmod 755 /tmp/migration/migration_report.sh
  1. Copy the 6.1_migration_assessment.tcl file into $RSA_HOME/utils/tcl/bin.  By default the path will be /opt/rsa/ace/utils.
  2. Execute the migration_report.sh from /tmp/migration using the command below: 
./migration_report.sh
  1. Expected output (taken from a Red Hat 4.8 with Authentication Manager 6.1.2 installed) when running migration_report.sh is as follows:
[root@rh4u8-primary migration]# ./migration_report.sh
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1.2.219 Mon Jun 21 11:11:42 EDT 2010

Notes
The Migration Assessment Utility must be used on the primary Authentication Manager server where the Authentication Manager services are running.  If services are not running, the following error will occur:
  
Sd_ApiInit Error Failed to Connect to serv DB C:\Program Files\RSA Security\RSA Authentication Manager\data\sdserv
    while executing
"Sd_ApiInit "" "" 1"
    invoked from within
"puts [Sd_ApiInit "" "" 1]..."
    (file "6.1_migration_assessment.tcl" line 32)

If any problems arise when using the Authentication Manager 6.1 Migration Assessment Utility, please contact your local RSA Customer Support center.  Please be sure to have your Authentication Manager license information ready to open a new support request.  License information is available through the Security Console under Setup > Licenses.
