If you upgrade the Linux OS release, you can use the following procedure to migrate

CA Performance Center

to a new host with a new IP address and hostname.

You must upgrade the existing system to the product version you are migrating to before migrating. This migration procedure copies over

CA Performance Center

and does not require you to install

CA Performance Center

on the new host.

Prepare for the Migration

Follow these steps:

Verify that the new host meets the system requirements. For more information, see Review Installation Requirements and Considerations and the

CA Performance Management

Sizing Tool

Prepare the new host. For more information, see Prepare to Install CA Performance Management.

If you installed

CA Performance Center

on the original system as sudo user,
add the command alias on the new system:

Locate the following file on the

CA Performance Center

host:

/etc/sudoers

Add a command alias with the following permissions to the file:

/tmp/CAPerfCenterSetup.bin

/etc/init.d/caperfcenter_console

(for RHEL 6.x)

/etc/init.d/caperfcenter_devicemanager

(for RHEL 6.x)

/etc/init.d/caperfcenter_eventmanager

(for RHEL 6.x)

/etc/init.d/caperfcenter_sso

Add the following command to /etc/group:

mysql:x:27:

Add the following command to

/etc/passwd

file:

mysql:x:27:27:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/bash

To ensure that the edits take effect, log out from the new

CA Performance Center

host, and log in again.

Start the mysql service on the new system:

service mysql start

Restore the databases:

cd /opt/CA/MySql/binmysql netqosportal -unetqos -ppassword -e 'source /tmp/netqosportal.sql'mysql em -unetqos -ppassword -e 'source /tmp/em.sql'

Start the

CA Performance Center

services on the new system as follows:

Start the SSO service:

service caperfcenter_sso start

Wait one minute, then start the Event Manager and Device Manager:

service caperfcenter_eventmanager start

service caperfcenter_devicemanager start

Wait one minute, then start the console service:

service caperfcenter_console start

Update the Event Manager Data Source

If the new

CA Performance Center

hostname is different from the original

CA Performance Center

host, update the Event Manager data source. You must run a full Event Manager data source sync after you update the host name in the

CA Performance Center

UI.

Follow these steps:

CA Performance Center

UI as the Administrator user. Use the new host name:

http://new_PC_host
:8181

If you cannot log in, run the following commands to check for database errors:

mysqlcheck mysql -unetqos -p
password

mysqlcheck em -unetqos -p
password

mysqlcheck netqosportal -unetqos -p
password

If you see missing functions or corrupt table issues, see the following procedure for repairing the database.

Hover over Administration
, and click Data Sources: Data Sources
.

Select the Event Manager data source, and click Edit
.

Edit the Host Name and Display Name fields:

If SSL is configured, specify HTTPS for the communication protocol.

To validate communication, click Test
.

Click Save
.

Select the Event Manager data source, and click Resync
.

Select Perform a Full Resynchronization
, and click Resync
.

CA Performance Center

resynchronizes with the Event Manager data source.

After the Event Manager has completed a full resynchronization, re-register the Event Manager with the data sources:

Run the following command to log in to MySQL:

/opt/CA/MySql/bin/mysql em -unetqos -ppassword

Run the following command:

UPDATE em.data_sources SET LastEvent = 0, ConsumerID = 0;

The new Event Manager IP address is pushed to the data sources.

Repair the Database

If you cannot log in to to the

CA Performance Center

UI, check for database errors. If there are errors, stop the

CA Performance Center

services. Repair the database with the appropriate command. Then restart the

CA Performance Center

services.

Follow this procedure:

Stop the

CA Performance Center

services:

service caperfcenter_console stopservice caperfcenter_devicemanager stopservice caperfcenter_eventmanager stopservice caperfcenter_sso stop

Repair the database with the appropriate command:

mysqlcheck -r mysql -unetqos -ppassword
mysqlcheck -r em -unetqos -ppassword
mysqlcheck -r netqosportal -unetqos -ppassword

tart the

CA Performance Center

services on the new system as follows:

Start the SSO service:

service caperfcenter_sso start

Wait one minute, then start the event manager and Device Manager:

service caperfcenter_eventmanager start

service caperfcenter_devicemanager start

Wait one minute, then start the console service:

service caperfcenter_console start

Configure the Data Source Connector for a Report

If you have the Unified Dashboards and Reporting for Infrastructure Management
solution set up, and the new

CA Performance Center

hostname has changed, reconfigure the data source connector for the reports.

Follow these steps:

Ensure that the CA Business Intelligence data source is installed.

Open the CA Business Intelligence JasperReports login page in a browser. Log in to the CA Business Intelligence JasperReports Server as a user with an Administration role for the Public
organization.

Select View
, Repository
.

In the Folders panel on left, expand Public
, ca
, Performance Management
, datasources
.

Select the

CA Performance Center

data source and click Edit
.

:

Schema

Specify HTTP or HTTPS.

Host

Specify the

CA Performance Center

host name. Do not specify the Data Aggregator host name.

Port

Specify the

CA Performance Center

port (default: 8181).

CA Performance Center
GUID

The

CA Performance Center

GUID (unique) is used when the password for the CA Business Intelligence web user is not available. This information passes to the Data Aggregator to ensure that the request is going to the correct

CA Performance Center

instance. A web service call on

CA Performance Center

retrieves this information.

GUID Endpoint URL:

http://hostname:8181/pc/center/webservice/datasources/performanceCenterGUID

Click Save
to apply the changes.

Verify the Migration

You must run Resync All to update the IP addresses for the

CA Performance Center

netqosportal

tables.

Follow these steps:

CA Performance Center

UI as the Administrator user. Use the new host name:

http://new_PC_host
:8181

Hover over Administration
, and click Data Sources: Data Sources
.

Click Resync All
.

CA Performance Center

synchronizes with all registered data sources and updates the required contact information.

To verify that the

CA Performance Center

host name is correct on the Data Aggregator, use the following REST call:

http://<DA_host
>:8581/rest/dataaggregator

The value for

NpcHostName

is the IP address of the new

CA Performance Center

host.

Configure Authentication

CA Performance Center

supports external authentication schemes, such as LDAP, SAML 2.0, SSL.

For LDAP, no additional configuration is required with a

CA Performance Center

migration.

For SAML 2.0, reconfigure SAML 2.0 on the new system. For more information, see Set Up SAML 2.0 Support.

For SSL, set up new SSL certificates with the new hostname and alias. For more information, see Set Up SSL Certificates for Performance Center.

If you have overridden the NPC hostname that Data Aggregator contacts, update Web Service Host in SSO Config. For more information, see Update Performance Center Website Settings.
