Migrating Your ASMS system

The following procedure describes a sample process for migrating your entire ASMS system to new appliances.

For example, you may want to do this if you are moving your data centers to a new location or to the cloud, moving to a new set of upgraded appliances, or if you're adding additional appliances to your system.

Tip: Migrating an entire ASMS system is a complicated process. If you are migrating a complex deployment with Remote Agents across geographic locations, consider that the migration may required a few days.

In such cases, consider performing each Remote Agent migration and device relocation in incremental steps.
