Performing Migration
7-76800-A2-GN22-30 January 1997
• In the Release 4.2 database, the first three digits of the 44232 combination are
placed in the country code field, and the remainder are placed in the city code
field. The country and city codes for Belfast would appear in the Release 4.2
site profiles as 442 and 32 rather than 44 and 232. However, this does not cause
an error in site placement. Although these fields can be revised in the site
profile after migration, there is no technical need to do so.
• Except for the delimiters described above, non-digits in the phone number are
ignored.
Backing Up the Database
For both the 6830 and 6820 NMS, the data to be migrated is downloaded to a cartridge tape
using the Release 1.0 NMS database backup utility. This data is then uploaded to the Release 4.2
6800 Series NMS via this backup cartridge tape. Data transfer is nondestructive; no data on the
source NMS is modified or deleted.
Perform the following steps to backup the database:
1. With the Network Management System menu displayed on the Release 1 NMS console,
select Copy/Restore Data. The Copy/Format/List/Restore menu appears.
2. Select Copy Databases to Removable Medium. To do this,
TYPE: c
PRESS: Enter
The User Data: Copy menu appears.
3. Select All of the Above Databases. To do this,
TYPE: 1
PRESS: Enter
The User Data: Copy Medium Selection menu appears.
NOTE
Although not all databases are migrated to the Release 4.2
6800 Series NMS, for archival purposes, all databases are backed
up. Once the backup process is completed, choose the List
Databases Stored on Removable Medium option on the User Data:
Copy/Format/List/Restore menu for a printed listing of what is
contained on the backup tape.
4. Select cartridge tape as the storage medium. To do this,
TYPE: c
PRESS: Enter
The User Data: Copy Cartridge Tape Selection menu appears.
