Upgrading from iControl Version 1.xx 1
Upgrading from iControl Version 1.xx
Previous versions (1.xx) of iControl are not compatible with release version 2.00 (and later). An upgrade
from version 1.xx involves a platform change which requires re-imaging the Application Server hard drive.
Configuration files cannot be reused. User-configured items such as iControl Navigator aliases, error log
settings and proc amps must be regenerated (we recommend you record all values before proceeding with
an upgrade). Old iControl Web sites will be converted, but the links will need to be reassigned.
Please contact [email protected] for assistance.
Upgrading from iControl Version 2.xx
To get you started with your upgrade, the Miranda Technical Support team will have provided you with the
iControl version 4.00 upgrade package, which includes the following:
Before continuing, we strongly recommend that you read the iControl version 4.00 Release Notes in order
to ensure that:
• your existing system (including any client workstations) meets the hardware and software
requirements for the upgrade,
• you are aware of any compatibility issues that might affect your system,
• you are aware of, and have mitigated, any potential server replication data loss,
• you are aware of the configuration guidelines and have accounted for their impact, if any, on your
configuration (current and future).
