FOXMAN‑UN Upgrade without DB Migration
This type of upgrade consists of
• an OS upgrade to the Linux version supported by the current FOXMAN‑UN version,
• the removal of the previous FOXMAN‑UN version,
• the installation of the new FOXMAN‑UN version, and
• the subsequent rebuilding of the FOXMAN‑UN database for the new FOXMAN‑UN version.
This scenario is recommended for networks where the restoration of the NE configuration from the network and the new creation of sections is reasonably fast (small database).
After the installation of the FOXMAN‑UN application, such a migration requires the re-creation of all agents, network elements (which includes upload of the configuration and inventory data), sections, foreign objects, maps etc. as well as the security.
This upgrade procedure is appropriate for networks with less than 200 NEs and/or less than 100 sections if none of ENP, DIRAC or ALS is in use.
