cannot be restored to the 2.0 system but they should be backed up in case it is necessary to revert to the
1.x system.
Record Configuration Information
If you have not already done so, you must record the current server configuration data, which will be re-
entered after the upgrade. If you are upgrading from release 1.2 or later, most of the configuration data
will be re-entered automatically with the Linux Migration Restore process. However, if you are
upgrading from a pre-1.2 release, you will need to re-enter all of the server configuration data.
To view the current configuration data:
1Launch the Maintenance Web Interface.
2Under Server Configuration and Upgrades, click Configure Server.
3Click Continue on the first and second screen.
4On the "Select method for configuring server" screen, select "Configure all services using the
wizard" and click Continue.
5View and record the configuration information on each screen and click Continue to move to the
next screen.
The best way to record the configuration data is to fill in the Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet
(EPW). You then have the option to use the Installation Wizard to do the server configuration task. If you
do not have the EPW, you can record the current configuration data and enter it manually after the
upgrade.
If Upgrading from 1.2 or Later
Record the data on the Configure Interface screen. That is, server IP address, gateway IP address, and
subnet mask. You can skip the remaining configuration screens.
If Upgrading from Pre-1.2 Release
Record the data from all configuration screens except the Static Network Routes screen. (Static routes are
not used in release 2.0)
