Options for Upgrading a Key Store

Two paths exist for upgrading an r6.x key store to r12.0 SP3. You can:

• Upgrade the existing policy and key store to r12.0 SP3.
• Create a stand–alone r12.0 SP3 key store and import the existing agent keys in to the new instance.

This guide details the steps for upgrading an existing policy and key store.

If you want to create a stand–alone r12.0 SP3 key store:

1. Use the r6.x version of smobjexport to export only the agent keys that are stored in the policy store.

   Note: For more information, see the r6.x Policy Server Installation Guide.

2. Create an r12.0 SP3 key store using the default policy store schema.

   Note: For more information, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.

3. Use the r12.0 SP3 version of smobjimport to import the agent keys in to the r12.0 SP3 key store.

   Note: For more information, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

4. Use the Policy Server Management Console to point the Policy Server to the stand–alone key store.
