We recommend that you understand the steps you must perform at each stage of the overall migration process before you migrate a PMDB. Migrating a PMDB is only one step in the process to migrate an enterprise deployment of CA ControlMinder to an advanced policy management environment.
Migrating a PMDB is the final step in the process to migrate from a PMD environment to an advanced policy management environment. In the preceding steps, you:
In this step, you use CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management to create a policy from the rules in the PMDB, create a host group for the migrated PMDB, and join the hosts that correspond to the PMDB subscribers to this host group. You can also choose to assign the new policy to the host group.
Important! Each time you click the Next button, CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management completes an action in the DMS or in the PMDB. It may be difficult to undo the result of these actions.
To migrate a PMDB
The PMDB Host Login page appears.
Note: Specify the PMDB name in the format PMDBname@host, for example, master_pmdb@example
The PMDB Migrate Process page appears at the General task stage.
Defines the name of the policy. The name must be unique on the DMS (enforced) and in your enterprise (not enforced but you will not be able to deploy a policy to a host if a policy of the same name already exists).
(Optional) Defines a business description (free text) of the policy. Use this field to record what this policy is for and any other information that helps you identify the policy.
Specifies the classes whose rules you want to export for inclusion in the policy. If you do not specify any classes in the Selected List column, all classes are exported and included in the policy.
Specifies to export all the classes that are dependent on the classes that you specify in the Selected List column. If you do not select this option, CA ControlMinder exports only the classes that you specify in the Selected List column.
The Policy Script task stage appears.
CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management creates a policy from the rules. The Host Group task stage appears.
Specifies the name of the host group to add the hosts to. You can specify an existing host group or create a new host group.
Note: When you add a host to an existing host group, CA ControlMinder automatically deploys to the host any policies that are assigned to the host group.
(Optional) Specifies to assign the policy to the host group.
Specifies the hosts to add to the host group.
Note: By default, this table contains all subscribers of the migrated PMDB that you have authority to access. You can add and remove hosts from the Assigned Hosts list; however, you cannot add a host to the host group if you do not have authority to access the host.
CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management adds the hosts to the hosts group and, if specified, assigns the policy to the host group. The PMD Options task stage appears.
Specifies to unsubscribe the endpoints that you selected in the previous task stage from the migrated PMDB.
Specifies to unsubscribe all subscribers from the migrated PMDB.
Specifies to delete the migrated PMDB.
Important! Do not delete the PMDB if you use it to propagate user password commands.
Specifies to add a filter file to the migrated PMDB so that the PMDB only propagates user password commands to its subscribers. If you select this option, the migrated PMDB becomes a password PMDB.
CA ControlMinder performs the actions that you specified. The Migration Actions Summary task stage appears and the migration process is complete.
