Migrating from Powertech Antivirus for Insite

If you are migrating Powertech Antivirus from Insite to Fortra Application Hub, you must first do a clean install of Powertech Antivirus. See Installing or Updating Powertech Antivirus. Then, use the following procedure to update the Linux Endpoint servers so that they point to the new installation of Fortra Application Hub instead of Insite.

1. Install Fortra Application Hub and Powertech Antivirus Server.

2. Download the migration tool for your platform from the Fortra Support Portal. See Installing or Updating Powertech Antivirus. Select from:

   • Insite Migration Tool (Windows) Software for Windows: (windows-conversion)

   • Insite Migration Tool (Linux) Software for Linux: (linux-conversion)

   • Insite Migration Tool (Power Big Endian) Software for Linux on Power Big Endian: (linux-conversion-ppc64)

   • Insite Migration Tool (Power Little Endian) Software for Linux on Power Little Endian: (linux-conversion-ppc64le)

3. Extract the files to a directory on Powertech Antivirus Server.

4. Run the following command:

   tar -xvf <downloadfilename>

   This extracts the files "export-servers" "and migrate data".

5. Copy the appropriate version of the export-servers program to the Insite server and execute it according to the following example:

   EXAMPLE:

   ./export-servers -h
   ./export-servers --port=5432

   The resulting .csv file contains the Linux servers found in the Insite installation extracted from Insite's Deployment Manager > *NIX Servers page. See export-servers command for more information.

6. Move "linux_servers.csv" to where it can be accessed by your browser.

7. Open Fortra Application Hub in a browser, then click >Marketplace.

8. Choose Systems.

9. Click Upload Systems.

10. Click Select a CSV File.

11. Select the "linux_servers.csv" file.

12. Click Open.

13. Enter authentication details for imported systems that do not provide any.

14. Click OK to import.

15. Click Marketplace.

16. For Powertech Antivirus for AIX / Linux, click Install.

17. Install Powertech Antivirus on the Endpoints.

    NOTE: This step registers only the Endpoints currently registered to the Insite server (at backlevel to the version in Fortra Application Hub Marketplace) to the newly installed Powertech Antivirus server. See the Powertech Antivirus User Guide for more Endpoint registration instructions.

18. Migrate the scan configurations, defined reports, and scan events data from Insite. To do so, follow these steps:

    1. On the Insite server (not the new Powertech Antivirus server), modify the database to allow incoming connections from Powertech Antivirus Server where the migrate-data program, described below, will run.
       

       IMPORTANT: Allow this remote connection to the Insite server so the migrate-data program does not fail. Run the migrate-data program on the Powertech Antivirus server (where it resides) and open the Insite database to allow it to connect.
       

       To do so, follow these steps:

       1. Locate the pg_hba.conf file in one of the following locations:

          • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Help Systems\Insite\pgsql\data\pg_hba.conf

          • Linux: \opt\insite\pgsql\data\pg_hba.conf

       2. Add a line similar to the example below to allow external connections to the database:
          

          EXAMPLE:
          host all helpsystemsweb 0.0.0.0/0 md5
          

       3. Restart the Insite server/database for the change to take effect.

    2. On Powertech Antivirus Server, go to /opt/ptavwebsvc/conversion/architecture.

    3. Run the migrate-data command, directing it to the Insite server using the
       -insiteHost argument. See migrate-data command for more information.

       EXAMPLE: ./migrate-data -insiteHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Insite server.)
       
    NOTE: Optionally, you can execute migrate-data on the Insite server and direct it to the Powertech Antivirus Server using the -ptavHost argument. However, this action will require modifying the database pg_hba.conf on Powertech Antivirus Server to allow external connections from the Insite server.

19. Review the Powertech Antivirus Server for the migrated data (scan configurations, reports, and so on).
