Chapter 3 Installing the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents
Accessing Management Center for Cisco Security Agents
Step 1 Install the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents V5.2. See previous sections for instructions.
•If you’re installing CSA MC V5.2 on the same machine running CSA MC V5.1, an xml file containing V5.1 configuration items and several .dat files containing host information are automatically generated by the installation and ready for importing once the install is complete.
•If you’re installing CSA MC V5.2 on a different machine from the system running V5.x or V4.x, after installing V5.2, you must copy and manually run an executable file on the V5.x or V4.x machine to create the xml and dat files needed for importing V5.x or V4.x configurations and host information to V5.2.
Step 2 If you have installed V5.2 on the same machine as V5.1, you can skip to the end of Step 6. Otherwise, once you’ve installed CSA MC V5.2 and rebooted the system, navigate to the CSCOpx\CSAMC52\migration directory. Copy the appropriate file (named prepare_<version>_migration.exe depending on the version you’re migrating from, for example prepare_50_migration.exe) to your V5.x or V4.x system. (You can copy it to any place on the system.)
Step 3 On your V5.x or V4.x system, disable agent security and run the prepare_<version>_migration.exe file that you copied from the V5.2 system. (You must disable security in order to run the executable file and create the import xml data.) This launches a command prompt which displays the progress of the migration.
Step 4 When the prepare_<version>_migration.exe file is finished, on the V5.x or V4.x system, navigate to the Cisco Systems\CSAMC\CSAMC51\migration\export or CSCOpx\CSAMC50\migration\export directory (again, directory name depends on the version you’re migrating from) and locate several newly created files. Your configuration data is now in a file named migration_data_export.xml. Your host data (hosts and distinct host groupings) are now in several files, depending on how many distinct host groupings existed, named migration_host_data<number>.dat.
Using the data that is now wrapped up in these files allows you to import your existing policy configurations and your current host groupings, thereby preserving the policy tuning and host group configurations for your new V5.2 installation.
