How Migration Mode Works

You can use migration mode to assist in the migration of an existing multisystem network.

Migration mode gives the new product region the same level of visibility as normal synchronization, but a slightly reduced command capability. The main difference between migration mode and normal synchronization is that the databases are not synchronized, and single point database maintenance is not possible in migration mode.

Migration mode works as follows:

1. You unlink an existing region from the multisystem network.
2. You migrate this region to the latest release.
3. You link the newly-migrated region back into the multisystem network.
4. After the new region is linked back, you can monitor all resources for all linked regions from the new region.
5. When the next region is unlinked and migrated to the latest release, it can be linked and synchronized in the standard way to the first migrated region.

Each region can be migrated as required without losing the benefits of multisystem monitoring.
