How to Migrate the IBM BigFix (Endpoint Manager) Server (Windows/MS-SQL)

This BigFix document details the steps and operational procedures necessary for migrating the BigFix Server from existing hardware onto new computer systems. Typical use cases for these steps include:

  • Hardware refresh
  • OS or SQL Server upgrades
  • 32-bit to 64-bit architecture migration
  • Remote SQL server migration

The steps below apply to the following BigFix server versions for Windows:

  • 7.2
  • 8.0, 8.1, 8.2
  • 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.5

Due to the complexity and risks of migrating BigFix Servers, it is strongly recommended that an BigFix Technician help in performing the BigFix Server Migration process. Consider engaging the assistance of Services (http://ibm.biz/PPSBigFix), or IBM Accelerated Value Program (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/acceleratedvalue/).
