Moving Policy Manager Server to a new server This article describes how you can move Policy Manager Server (PMS) to a new server.
To move PMS:
- Backup the current Policy Manager database folder:
- Stop the F-Secure Policy Manager Server service (CMD:
net stop fsms). - Backup <F-Secure>\Management Server 5\data\h2db\ folder.
- Restart the F-Secure Policy Manager Server service (CMD:
net start fsms).
- Install Policy Manager onto the new server.
- Apply the backed up Policy Manager database folder to the new Policy Manager:
- Stop F-Secure Policy Manager Server service (CMD:
net stop fsms). - Replace <F-Secure>\Management Server 5\data\h2db\ folder with the previously backed up version.
- Restart F-Secure Policy Manager Server service (CMD:
net start fsms).
- Configure on both new and old Policy Manager Server address policy setting to point to the new Policy Manager Server.
- Open Policy Manager Console.
- Go to Settings > Centralized management > Policy Manager Server settings.
- In the Policy Manager textbox, type in the new Policy Manager Server address including the host module port number.
- Distribute (Ctrl+D) the new policy.
Note: Restrict the address settings to disallow user changes. This makes sure that the policy variables override the local host value.
- Once the managed hosts have fetched the new communication settings from the old Policy Manager, they will start communicating with the new Policy Manager Server.
Note: If the hosts are still communicating with the old Policy Manager Server, make sure that the new server's own firewall is allowing inbound connections to configure host module port (default port: 80).
