Steel Belted Radius Carrier 7.0 Installation Guide > Basic Configuration > Migrating Files from Earlier Releases

Migrating Files from Earlier Releases

5.4, 6.0, 6.1

Migrating from SIM Server 5.4 or SBR 6.0 or 6.1 to Release 7.0 requires that some files be manually edited to move existing settings into the corresponding Release 7.0 files, because the new release has a different file structure that must be preserved.

All other files are automatically migrated during the migrate process. You only need to perform these edits if you imported configuration files from a previous release during installation (discussed in Running the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier configure Script).

Manual Migration of XML Configurations

You must manually move existing settings into the corresponding XML files that are delivered in the new Steel-Belted Radius Carrier software installation.

CAUTION: Do not modify any *.xml files except these four:

• /radius/sbr_administration.xml — Socket port number specified by port= setting
• /radius/sbr_ccm.xml — Socket port numbers specified by port= settings
• /radius/sbr_id.xml — Hostname specified by id= setting
• /system/config/logging_mgr.xml — LogStream events= settings

The IP addresses, hostnames, socket port numbers, and other similar data entries found in these files often have corresponding parameters in the radius.ini file which must be kept in agreement.

Manual Migration of JRE Extensions

Steel-Belted Radius Carrier is shipped with its own Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to facilitate JDBC plug-ins and JavaScript implementation. You can extend the JRE by installing third-party .jar files in the radius/jre/lib/ext subdirectory. You must migrate any third party .jar files by copying them to the new Steel-Belted Radius Carrier software installation.

These .jar files are shipped with Steel-Belted Radius Carrier. Do not migrate earlier versions to the Release 7.0 server:

• dnsns.jar
• funk-sql.jar
• localedata.jar
• sunjce_provider.jar
• sunpkcs11.jar

Manual Migration of JavaScript files

As of SIM Server 5.4, all JavaScript files (*.jsi) are stored in the radius/scripts subdirectory. Any JavaScript files must be migrated manually by copying them into the new Steel-Belted Radius Carrier software installation.

Manual Migration of ROOT Certificates

As of SIM Server 5.4, the storage of root certificates is managed by the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server and the SBR Administrator is used to add and delete root certificates. You must manually migrate root certificates, using the SBR Administrator to add them from the old root directory.

Manual Migration of Dictionaries

If you have stored any modified or third-party dictionary files (*.dci, *.dcm, *.dct) in the /radius directory, you must manually migrate these either by merging each of the modifications with the corresponding files that are shipped with the new Steel-Belted Radius Carrier software, or by copying the third-party dictionary files to the new /radius directory.

5.4, 6.0, 6.1

If Release 7.0 will support WiMAX, check the vendor.ini to confirm that the WiMAX vendor ID is defined. If the field is blank, restore a file from the /install/backup/<time-stamp> directory.

5.4

If you are migrating from SIM Server 5.4, the /conf/ulcmmg.conf needs to be modified. Replace the Release 5.4 hostname with the Release 7.0 hostname.

Manual Migration of Third-Party Plug-ins and Other Binaries

If you have stored any third-party plug-ins (*.so) and/or other binaries in the radius directory, then you must manually migrate them by copying the files to the new radius directory.
