W have a Bigfix 9.5.6 and ILMT 9.2.26 configured on windows 2012(Which is EOS) and using remote SQL database server 2019.
We are planning to install Latest version of BigFix and ILMT using new licensing key on windows 2019. Can we use the existing SQL database server 2019 while configuring BigFix and ILMT. If yes, what are steps to be considered to use the existing database server.
But i am not migrating database to new server, since it is an 2019 sql server i want use the same SQL server just BigFix and ILMT are configuring in new Windows server. What are the steps to be taken to retain same instances while configuring BigFix.
Since you are “moving” the BigFix server, you must consider it as a migration; just you can skip the DB restore operation (take a full backup as well ). The steps are documented in the links provided.
After the server is moved, you can proceed with a simple upgrade using automatic fixlets.
