Feel free to reach out via direct Message, there’s other ways.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit the Script can be run from any machine that has the SDK installed and is able to connect to both Orion Servers on Port 17777. please be advised that this is not „click and run“ if you don’t understand the commands the script executes I strongly advise against „just…

are you trying the offline installer or the online installer? do you have Internet Access on your test server?

It could be that the script is working, but again this script needs tweaking, so please do not run it without understanding what it does.

you want a parallel Install therefore you want a "New Installation."

yes this is correct

Yes, when you install another instance, you can run multiple versions of SQL on the same server

there is NO way to do this with a GUI. You need to script this via the SDK and hope every function you need is already there in your version, which I doubt. Again, the upgrade path is the best option you have. There are consultants you can pay to do this for you, if you are not able to complete the tasks we outlined…

You do not need to post the same question over and over again, and this question has also already been answered. It might be possible to copy over SOME data with the SDK, there is a “Copy Node“ example on GitHub. Due to the old version of your installation, not all functions might be present. So if you want to keep your…

Well, of course you need to have an SQL2012 installer to install SQL 2012...I thought this was quite obvious 

You just need to run the installer and install another instance. use SQL 2012 you Need this version for compatibility 

it could be that this is not possible, as the needed functions might not be implemented in your version of Orion https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/PowerOrion/Samples/PowerShell/CopyNodes.ps1 you need Scripting and Powershell skills to adjust this to your needs

Melde dich am besten bei @"allmecht" oder bei mir per PN, wir haben einen SLACK Kanal wo es mir um ARM geht.

I'd personally start with the same versions, however you CAN already start with Step one and install NPM10.7, NCM 7.3, NTA4.02 your next steps then would be NPM11.5.3, NCM7.3, NTA 4.0.2 etc.

when you purchase the licenses you get an account in the customerportal. Do you have any info about your Solarwinds ID? it's formatted SW1234567. With this you can then ask customer-Support what email address is used for your customer portal, or have your mail Address added to your company's account.

Downloads are on https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/Downloads you need an account for that! to make your life easier, just use ONE box with SQL and Orion installed for your Windows 2012R2 "Jump-Box"

you can download the older versions in your customer Portal. See screenshot like @"m_roberts" already suggested, start with a 2012R2 Server and a 2012 SQL, restore your old DB to the 2012 SQL, and start with the same Versions of Orion Modules, that you have on your existing Server. Then start to upgrade the modules with…

Great, you did the first step, did you understand the implications that this has? You have to have some temporary Server(s) ready to jump between versions that you install just like @"m_roberts" mentioned

Circling Back to @"jm_sysadmin"s advice to check the upgrade advisor, I took the liberty to do that for you. Your Upgrade Path is the following: 1 Upgrade your database server, choose one of these compatible databases: MS SQL server 2012 SP1, MS SQL server 2012 2 Upgrade your operating system, choose one of these…

Your Database is TOO OLD! it is NOT possible to Upgrade it directly! Like multiple other mentioned, there is an upgrade path that you would need to follow! Please read the other posts carefully, the options you have are already posted

https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/content/install-legacyinstwalkthrough.htm you should be able to upgrade to the latest version directly. recommended to use a fresh server and run the config wizard to connect to your old database

wollen wir ne Doodle-Umfrage machen wann es passt, oder einfach mal einen Termin aufsetzen und schauen wer rein kommt? Holger

Nope, noch nicht, da gerade noch die "kleinen unzulänglichkeiten" des Plattformwechsels ausgemerzt werden. Wenn ein Bereich genehmigt wurde werden wir bescheid geben.

Freilich simmer da dabei! Da wir jetzt auf der neuen Plattform sind denke ich können wir da ein Subforum mal anstreben. Ich würde die Community Manager mal ansprechen, es gibt ja auch im Orion Umfeld ein deutsches Forum. Cheers, Holger

This is "Legal talk" you can not say something is 100% not affected, because there might be something else -> Schrödinger's Cat. The wording that these tools are not known to be affected gives more legal flexibility. I know it's hard for us Germans, you can't get 100%....

Did you run the Website Configuration Manager and set the IP Address to "All Unassigned"?

I would use ${Caption} instead of ${SystemName} The SystemName field needs to be filled in SNMP and i believe also "inventoried". Hope that helps.

Just wanted to post this as well. Yes that user is used for DB Maintenance. Had that question coming up last week as well.

You can adjust this in the „websites“ Table of the Orion Database. Check what’s listed there.

Do you only have NPM as a Orion Module or any other modules?
