G. Migration from PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine to PFM - Remote Monitor for Virtual Machine

This appendix describes the procedures for migrating performance data collected by using PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine, as well as the properties of the Collector and Store services, to PFM - Remote Monitor for Virtual Machine. After migration, PFM - Remote Monitor for Virtual Machine can be used to display reports that were created by using PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine.

Prerequisites for migration and the applicable scope:

The prerequisites and applicable scope of PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine and those of PFM - RM for Virtual Machine are the same. However, to execute the migration command, PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine must also meet the following conditions:

• PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine, the migration source, and PFM - RM for Virtual Machine, the migration destination, must be installed on the same host.

• The version of PFM - Base or PFM - Manager installed on the same host on which PFM - RM for Virtual Machine must be installed is 10-00 or later.

• The version of PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine must be 09-01 or later.

• The Store version^# of the PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine instance environment and backup files must be 2.0.

• The data model version^# of the PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine instance environment and backup files must be 4.0.

• Migration from a physical host to a logical host, or vice versa, is impossible. Migration on the same physical host, on the same logical host, or between different logical hosts is possible.

For details about the Store version and data model version, see the chapter on the Store database and data models in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Migration-target data:

The following describes what data is subject to migration, and what data is not.

Data subject to migration:

• Properties of the Collector and Store services, such as instance environment settings and performance data storage methods

  For details about migration of the properties of the Collector and Store services, see G.6 Property settings of the Collector and Store services.

• Performance data

Data not subject to migration:

• Network environment settings and other system configuration information

• Performance data imported by PFM - Agent for Virtual Machine

• Performance data storage destinations

• Alarm definitions

• Report definitions

• JP1 events

• Settings for automatically restarting the PFM service

• Other settings that are not indicated in Data subject to migration
