Upgrade 3300 ICP CXi from Rel 9.0 to MCD4.1 and keep all the Licenses

Guys,

I posted a topic a few days ago, how to upgrade an 3300 ICP Cxi from Rel 9.0 to MCD 4.1 without lossing all the licenses that i have on the system.
I wrote down few steps i think need to be done for this upgrading, can someone check these steps for me!

Step 1: Backup the database from the current configuration
Step 2: Upgrade software rel 9.0 to mcd 4.0 using the softwaretool (check option full install)
Step 3: Loging into the ICP and do a database restore
Step 4: Reboot the ICP
Step 5: Upgrade software mcd 4.0 to mcd 4.1  using the softwarertoot (check option software upgrade)

Can some tell me if these steps are ok or if there more action need to be taken ?

Many thanks,
Gimitel

I think before step 5 you have to do a migration precheck to be sure you database will migrate ok.

Step 1 is correct.
Step 2 Can be and upgrade as well.
Step 3 Is unneeded if upgrade is done.
Step 4 Is unneeded if upgrade is done.
Step 5 Should be run Migration Precheck.
Step 6 Convert Database
Step 7 Upgrade to MCD 4.1

Also make sure the CXi has at 512 MB of memory otherwise you need a memory module.

Guys,

Thanks for replying.
This is the first time i am going to do an upgrading.
I figured out how to de the "migration recheck" (by maintenance command)
But how to convert the database? before upgarding from 4.0 to 4.1 ?

Thanks,

You have to go into the SDS form, and at the top, there is a button to convert the database.

Also to note is this a networked setup. I would suggest getting a copy of the technicians handbook.

The technicians handbook as well as the release notes explain this very well. If you do not have SDS forms you will have to enable System Data Synchronization in system options form before the forms will show.
