We are currently running a Demo of IPAM on a Demo version of NPM. I don't want to go through the process of import/adding subnets on our production version of NPM again. Is there anyway to export the address list out of the demo version and re-import into the production version should we decide to purchase?
Hello kbrookov.
As a developer at SolarWinds, I have migrated IPAM data from one database to another using SQL Management Studio. When taking proper precautions, I think this is the most effective and accurate solution.
All IPAM database tables in Orion start with "IPAM_". These are the steps I recall taking. If you're not comfortable with these tools, we could explore alternate solutions in this post.
I'm not personally comfortable with it, but I'll run it past our DB guys. Couple more questions for clarification:
1. The release version of IPAM is not out as of yet correct? Do you guys have a date for it?
2. The DB changes you are recomending will only affect IPAM tables on the production version of NPM and nothing else?
Thanks for your help!
Regarding #1, yes it is out, released yesterday
Regarding #2:
As long as we migrate only tables that start with "IPAM_" ... this action will not interfere at with NPM or anything else. Just be sure to move all "IPAM_" tables together.
When the migration is done, disable "SolarWinds IPAM Information Service" on the original demo box (or uninstall) to ensure subnets aren't being scanned by two installs needlessly.
Would this work for you? http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionIPAMAGExportingIPAddressesSettings.htm
^^^ I defined my Class B's by group, when you export a group it creates a seperate file for each subnet defined in the group. You would then have to reimport each subnet into the production server (still very annoying).
Anyone know if a Supernet has the same behavior?
kbrookov, did you ever get your migration to work? Did you try exporting/importing using supernets?
We need to migrate IPAM from our Dev server to our production server. Has anyone migrated successfully IPAM from one NPM database to another NPM database? Has anyone used Peter's method?
