Faronics Core Migration Guide
Migration Steps
Faronics Core 3.x is a significant architectural improvement of the existing Faronics Core Console
2.x platform to deliver enhanced security and greater scalability. Due to the improvements which
now leverage a multi-tier architecture, upgrading to the Faronics Core 3.x will require a migration
process that follows the basic steps outlined below:
1. Install Faronics Core 3.x. Refer to the Faronics Core User Guide available at
http://www.faronics.com/library
for more information.
2. Install the updated product loadins to Faronics Core 3.x. Refer to the specific product loadins
available at
http://www.faronics.com/library
for more information.
3. Install or upgrade the updated Core Agent to the client workstations. Refer to the Faronics
Core User Guide available at
http://www.faronics.com/library
for more information.
4. Install the updated product agents to the client workstations. Refer to the specific product
loadins available at
http://www.faronics.com/library
for more information.
5. Migrate the Faronics Core Console 2.x tasks to Faronics Core 3.x. This is explained in this
document. This step is optional.
6. Migrate the workstation event data from Faronics Core Console 2.x database to the Faronics
Core 3.0 database (Core Database). This is explained in this document. This step is optional.
The above process remains the same regardless of if the Faronics Core Console 2.x data is being
migrated on an existing server or being setup on an entirely new hardware. In the event that
Faronics Core 3.x is being configured on new hardware, either the Core Database (FC3) must be
configured on the same SQL instance as the existing Faronics Core Console 2.x database, or the
Faronics Core Console 2.x database must be moved to the new SQL instance where Core Database
(FC3) will be installed.
