Hi,
One of our customers are planning to export the database from 6.1 and import into a specific Security Domain of a currently live 8.1 Authentication Manager. They don't want any outage during this process, hence they are willing to know if the services of 8.1 Auth Manager need to be stopped (or do they get automatically stopped?) while the import is being performed?
A quick reply will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks Hussein,
And that includes both Authentication and Administration Services I assume?
Thanks
Thanks Hussein. Is this mentioned in one of the guides? Could you please send me the link?
I have tried to do an import and then check System Log Report. The report doesn't reflect anything which proves that the services have been restarted during the action "Migration from 6.1". Are you sure that the services are restarted during the import?
I think Hussein, and myself, thought you meant Database Backup restore when you said import, instead of Migrate Database. I don't know if migrate database restarts services, but think it does not. That is why we tell people not to have replicas on the new system when they migrate, because the system has to import the migrated data into the Primary Database at the same time that replication is send all that new data to the replicas.
Hi Jay,
When I did the import in my lab, I couldn't see the services being restarted in the system log report.
Re the following fro you:
"That is why we tell people not to have replicas on the new system when they migrate, because the system has to import the migrated data into the Primary Database at the same time that replication is send all that new data to the replicas."
does it mean that if a primary server where database is being imported is already live and so are its replicas then it could create issues?
Our customer have the scenario where they already have the primary 8.1 and its replicas in Live. They want to import a database to a new Security Domain on the same servers though. So would the primary start sending updates (including the new database) to the replicas while the import is still in progress? What issues that may cause?
Thanks,
Mukti
Hello,
Yes the services will be stopped automatically during the database import.
