Hardware migration question

We are getting ready to migrate Orion (Orion Platform 2015.1.3, IPAM 4.3.1, IVIM 2.1.1, DPA 9.2.0, NPM 11.5.3, SAM 6.2.1) to new hardware.

I know that I will need to export the certificates from the core/primary poller for SAM to be able to access the credentials library.

Will I need to do the same for the APE's (we have 2)?

Any other "gotchas" you have discovered in your migration experience?

Thanks,

Jeff

Since you won't be migrating your pollers, but rather installing new ones and assigning nodes to them you will not need to export any certificate information from any of your polling engines.

The following document should contain all the information needed to complete the migration successfully.

Thanks for the reply.

I've been using the PDF as part of our Change plan, but what I can't see if if I need to export any certificates from the additional polling engines, or just from the primary polling engine.

Are there separate certs on each of the APE's (kinda seems like there would be)?

Thanks

Yup, that makes sense.

Thanks for the help!
