Migration
Table 20
describes the supported migration paths to move your data from
one system platform to another.
Data Migration Notes and Prerequisites
Before you begin a data migration, make sure you understand these
important prerequisites:
■
You cannot simply remove the disk drive from one type of system
platform and install it into a different platform. If you attempt to do
so, the system will not boot properly.
■
Licenses are not part of a database migration. The licenses on your old
system will not work on the new system. Your new system comes with
its own set of license keys that you must enter into the new system
before you migrate your data.
■
The target system must be licensed to support the capacities of the
source system. For example, you cannot move the data from a V5000
system with 1000 devices successfully onto a V3000 system, unless
you install the memory upgrade and a license to support at least 1000
devices on the V3000 system.
■
You can choose to include or exclude telephone users’ voice mail
messages when you perform the data migration.
■
The system software version on the target system must be equal to or
higher than the software version on the source system. For example,
you cannot move data from a release R5.0 system onto an release
R4.3 system using the data migration feature. The target system
software must be at release R5.0 or higher.
