To execute the migration event immediately, perform the following steps. Otherwise, you can execute the migration later by performing To execute a saved card migration event .

  1. Use the NFM-P to back up the device configuration of each target NE.

    Note:

    When you attempt a migration on an NE that does not have a recent configuration backup in the NFM-P database, the NFM-P raises an alarm and the migration fails.

    A recent configuration backup is a backup that occurs after the latest configuration save on the NE.

  2. Click Apply. The NFM-P saves the card migration event configuration.

  3. Click on the General tab to display the Status indicator.

  4. Click Initiate Migration and click Yes. The NFM-P starts to migrate the specified cards.

  5. Monitor the card migration as it progresses by viewing the Status indicator on the form. The status can be one of the following:

    • Awaiting manual reboot to complete migration

    • Failed - Latest configuration not available

    • Failed - Unable to migrate configuration
