Fresh Installation of NPM without Problems?

flo over 7 years ago

Hi there,

first some details about my installation:

Network Performance Monitor v11.5.2
Network Configuration Management v7.4
Netflow Traffic Analyzer v4.1.1
User Device Tracker v3.2.2
Quality of Experience v2.0
Orion Platform v2015.1.2

Its all on the same server, but its a powerful VM.

System: Windows Server 2008R2

Now my question: We are planning to update our SolarWinds Products to the newest version normally.

But when the NPM v12 releases there will be a complete new installation because we will move to a new Windows Server 2012R2 VM.

Is it possible to install SolarWinds completely new on a new Server without losing the web-setting, Jobs, reports, etc...?
If not, what would be lost?

Edit: Our database will stay the same of course.

Thank you for your answers

Best regards!

NPM 11.5.2 and NPM 12.0 may have different schemas; I would suggest to install same versions (NPM 11.5.2, NCM 7.4,NTA 4.1.1, UDT 3.2.2) first then upgrade to NPM 12.0.
Web settings, web reports and Jobs are all stored on your database so no need to worry about losing it.

You can go straight from 11.5.2 to 12 and it is available now please note that
NPM 12.0 no longer supports OS Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, 2008, 2008 SP2, and 2008 R2 without SP1.
Please take a look at these links

In this guide look at page 7 since you are not moving your database

I inhered Orion landscape and modules were not configure correctly, plus landscapes need to be revised. I am thinking about fresh install NPM 12 and all the licensed modules and rediscover everything and keeping the current environment running just in case. Or what do you recommend for me to do in order to restart clean? Will that be tons of works involved? How about I just try to port only the valid stuff over instead of migrating the whole suite over to the new landscape?
