Migrate v2 to v6

[vmbackupuser]

Hi,
I've read that its not possible to upgrade BusinessView from v2 to v6.

1. However, is there any workaround to migrate the already categorised data from the v2 DB to the new v6 DB?

2. Can VeeamONE v6 be installed on the same server as BusinessView v2?

regards,

Hi Sip,

Yes, due to a complete merge of three different products, it is not possible to upgrade from standalone BV (Monitor or Reporter) to Veeam ONE.

1. Yes, you can use vCenter Server custom attributes for that. If you have these attributes applied to your VMs, then the only thing you should do is to map these attributes from vCenter Server to Veeam ONE v6 database.
2. It's better to use a clean machine for that, as Veeam ONE is using the same ports as BV, besides I'm not quite sure about collection services coexistence.

Thanks!
