Use the data migration utility to migrate the backup data of System Manager Release 7.1.3.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, or 10.1.x to the latest release of System Manager.

Use the data migration utility process to upgrade across multiple releases or major versions within release. For example, upgrades from:

• Release 7.1.3.x to Release 10.2.x

• Release 8.0.x to Release 10.2.x

• Release 8.1.x to Release 10.2.x

• Release 10.1.x to Release 10.2.x

• Migration of VMware to KVM.

  For more information, see Migrating System Manager from VMware to ASP R6.0.x (KVM on RHEL 8.10).

In the data migration utility method, the system does not support the rollback operation.

To revert to the previous release:

• If you have the old virtual machine, power off and delete the new virtual machine, and then power on the old virtual machine.

• If you deleted the old virtual machine, power off and delete the new virtual machine, and then perform the cold standby procedure.

  For information about the cold standby procedure, see Changing over to Cold Standby server.
