upgrading to V7 on 2003

Soon I will be installing the full Orion V7 on 2003 Server (SQL included. Do you have any suggestion on what files to backup on my actual V6 to preserve my database?
Your input is important.

I've installed the version 7 on 2003. The website gives me ASP errors and the solarwinds support is still unable to solve it....
To migrate from the previous version you have to follow instructions contained in the admin guide.

What is the ASP error message you are seeing and on what page does it appear.
I just upgraded to a newer, faster server and at the same time went from V7 to V7.0.5.
When I re-installed the telnet resource file in the "9-1-miscellaneous" I got an ASP error
message when viewing any node detail page.

Here is the 70-telnet.resource file that is caused the error:

"



<%
Title="Direct Access"
HelpPage="Node-Details"
DoResourceHeader
%>

<% If Node Is Nothing Then %>
<span class="Text"><font color="red"><b>A Network Node was not selected</b></span>
<% Else %>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<table border="0" cellPadding="2" cellSpacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">Telnet to <%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%></a></td>
</tr>
<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>:25">Check SMTP <%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="http://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">Web Interface <%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<% End If %>
<br>"

I just delete this file and everything works fine again.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the telnet resource back again....

For back-ups I just zipped up the following directories:
C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds
C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Network Performance Monitor V7
C:\WINNT\Tasks

Copy the 3 zips to the new server, then you can restore any missing or required individual file at any time.

No need to include NetPerfMon.asp in your telnet resource. Everything you'll need is included in Resource.asp.

I ended up modifying mine so that it would only allow the telnet URL if the resource was SNMP pollable:




<%
Title="System Access"
SubTitle="Managed Device Access"
HelpPage="Node-Details"

NodeType=Node.GetProperty("ObjectSubType")

DoResourceHeader
%>

<% If Node Is Nothing Then %>

<span class="Text"><font color="red"><b>A Network Node was not selected</b></span>

<% Else %>

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<table border="0" cellPadding="2" cellSpacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="Property" width="10"> </td>

<% If NodeType="SNMP" Then %>
<td class="Property"><a href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">
Telnet to <b><%=Node.GetProperty("DNS")%></b> (<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>)</a></td>
<% Else %>
<td class="Property">No Access to Unmanaged Device</td>
<% End If %>

</tr>
</table>
</tr>
</table>

<% End If %>

Thanks Ian,

I guess they changed the asp files between V7 & V7.0.5
It works fine now that I removed the NetPerfMon.asp line.

I keep web access url right with the telnet, and use a custom property to handle any url definition, since they seem to be different for so many devices:





<%
Title="Management"
HelpPage="Node-Details"
DoResourceHeader
%>

<% If Node Is Nothing Then %>
<span class="Text"><font color="red"><b>A Network Node was not selected</b></span>
<% Else %>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<table border="0" cellPadding="2" cellSpacing="0" width="100%">

<tr>
<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="<%=Node.GetProperty("webaccess")%>">Web Access</a></td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">Telnet Access</a></td>

</tr>

</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
