4.3 New Hardware and New IP Address

This section describes migration process by shutting down existing NOAM, SOAM, QS, and DP on BM and deploying these new NOAM, SOAM, QS, and DP, on VM using new IP addresses.

1. Create a new Topology using SDS 9.0.1.
2. Disable global provisioning on the SDS 8.6.X Active NOAM GUI, by performing the following steps:
   1. Log in to XMI of SDS NOAM.
   2. Navigate to Status & Manage from Main Menu, then select Database.
   3. Click Disable Provisioning.
3. Export data from the existing SDS 8.6.X server.
   1. Log in to Active 8.6.X SDS NOAM GUI using XMI IP.
   2. Navigate to Maintenance from Main Menu: SDS, then select Export Schedule.
   3. Click Insert.
   4. On Export Schedule [Insert] screen, set the following attributes:
      • Set Identifier Name as Subscriber.
      • Select File Format as csv.
      • Set the Current Date and time.
      • Select Export Data as Subscriber.
      • Select Repeat as None.
   5. Click OK.

   Note:

   Repeat Step 2 for all the remaining export data type such as MSISDN, IMSI.
4. Log in to Active SDS 9.0.1 NOAM GUI using XMI IP.
5. Navigate to Configurations from Main Menu: SDS, then select Options, update the fields as below:
   • Check Remote Import Enabled
   • In Remote Import Host IP Address, enter the required IP address of remote host server
   • In Remote Import User, enter the username of the required remote host server
   • In Remote Import Password, enter the password to login to the required remote host server
   • In Remote Import Directory, enter the required path of the remote host server

   Note:

   Before copying the exported files to the remote host server, follow the naming conventions provided in following table.

   Table 4-1 CSV Import Format

   Import Type	Filename
   Destination	import_X_destination.csv
   IMSI	import_X_imsi.csv
   MSISDN	import_X_msisdn.csv
   NAI User	import_X_naiuser.csv
   Wildcard NAI User	import_X_wcnaiuser.csv
   NAI Host	import_X_naihost.csv
   Domain Identifier	import_X_domainIdentifier.csv
   External Identifier	import_X_externalIdentifier.csv
   IMSI Prefix	import_X_imsiprefix.csv
   MSISDN Prefix	import_X_msisdnprefix.csv
   IMSI Blacklist	import_X_imsiblacklist.csv
   MSISDN Blacklist	import_X_msisdnblacklist.csv
   Subscriber	import_X_subscriber.csv

6. Copy the export files from Active NOAM SDS 8.6.x server to the remote host server path configured in the previous step and wait for 5 minutes.
   1. Copy the destination csv exported data first.

      Note:

      Wait for destination data to be imported.
   2. Imported status can be tracked by navigating to Maintenance from Main Menu: SDS, then select Import Status.
   3. On Import Status screen on SDS 9.0.1 system, after the destination data is imported, the remaining files must be copied to remote host server path configured in the previous step.
7. After all data import is completed, configure the ComAgent connection of SDS DAMP servers.
   1. Log in to Active SDS 9.0.1 NOAM GUI using XMI IP.
   2. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu: Communication Agent, then select Remote Servers.
   3. Click Insert and configure the SDS DAMP IP address.
   4. Click Ok.
8. Enable the ComAgent Connection.
   1. Log in to Active SDS 9.0.1 NOAM GUI using XMI IP.
   2. Navigate to Maintenance from Main Menu: Communication Agent, then select Connection Status.
   3. Select the DAMP server and enable the connection.
