Re: CiscoWorks VMS and CSA Migration

[Jason Ostrom <jpo () pobox com>]

So you need to migrate the CSAgents to being registered to the new CSA MC.

You basically need to rebuild VMS and CSA MC on a new machine, export 
the entire CSA MC DB from old machine, and import it into the new machine.

The CSAgents have SSL certificate dependencies in registering to the CSA 
MC, so you need to ensure that your certificate and IP address is 
consistent on the new machine - that it replaces the old one.  Once the 
IP address and SSL certificates have been replaced from old machine to 
new, the CSAgents will register to new machine.  Make sure that you have 
properly planned the cutover for making changes to your policies.
