When replacing a single, non-redundant server, backup the system data from the old server immediately before bringing the new server online. You can only restore the data on the new server using the most recent backup: all data and configurations added to the system since the backup will be lost.
Procedure
Step 1 Backup the old appliance, as described in Backing up the ICPAM Database.
This backup is used to restore the system data to the new appliance.
Step 2 Copy the backup file to a local disk, as described in Backing up the ICPAM Database.
Step 3 Stop the appliance.
a. Log on to the appliance, as described in Logging on to the ICPAM Server Administration Utility.
b. Select Monitoring and then select Status.
c. Click the Stop button to the right of the Admin State entry.
d. Verify that the Admin State is Down.
Step 4 Power off the old appliance and physically install the new appliance, as described in the Cisco Physical Security Multi Services Platform User Guide.
Step 5 Boot the new server and complete the setup instructions in Initial Setup Instructions.
Step 6 Obtain and install new ICPAM licenses. See Obtaining and Installing Optional Feature Licenses for more information.
Step 7 Restore the backup file to the new server, as described in Restoring a Server Backup File.
