Migrating other legacy agent installations

To specify the management server list for an agent

1

and then navigate to that directory.

2

At a command prompt, type

sisipsconfig -host

(Windows) or

sisipsconfig.sh -host

(UNIX), followed by a comma-separated list of

server host names or IP addresses, and then press Enter.

Migrating other legacy agent installations

You can migrate legacy software agent installations for the following software:

Symantec Intruder Alert™ 3.6 and higher

Symantec Host Intrusion Detection System (Symantec Host IDS) 4.0 and
higher

Agent software migration is straightforward. When you install Symantec
Critical System Protection agents, the installation kit automatically detects
legacy agents, uninstalls the legacy software, and installs the latest version.

Note: You cannot migrate server or management software. If an agent runs on a
computer that also runs a legacy server or manager, you must first uninstall the
legacy software before you migrate the agent.

You can migrate legacy customized detection policy files for the following
software:

Symantec Intruder Alert 3.6 and higher

Symantec Host IDS 4.1 and higher

It is not necessary to migrate uncustomized stock policy files. The new stock
policy files are migrated for you.
