How to Migrate from r6.x

Follow these steps to complete a migration from r6.x to r12.5:

1. Review the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.
2. Download the policy store schema files.
3. Extend the r6.x policy store schema.

6. Upgrade an r6.x Policy Server to r12.5.
7. Review After You Upgrade the Policy Server.

10. Upgrade the r6.x policy and key stores to r12.5.
11. Install the r12.5 Administrative UI.
12. (Optional) Install a Report Server.
