Migration process V3.10 to V4 Unable to perform the operation
Hello, i want to migrate Dell OME V3.10.2 to V4.0.0 and when i enter the credentials on source server V3.10 to the target server i receive this error message :
Unable to perform the operation, make sure that the provided information is valid and/or the provided host is reachable
on the target server V4.0.0, i follow the assistant to prepare the target and on the step 3 i have the message :
Source appliance not ready (not in MAINTENANCE state). 'Migrate Out' steps 2 and 3 must be completed on the source appliance.

Hello lbenharous,
What does the caution say on Sign Certificate?
Password has failed validation. Have you double checked credentials?
I think Migrate an appliance: page 200-204 should be able to help. Check each step :

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue. When I try to validate user from source to target appliance (step 2) it fails with above message.
I am sure about credentials, I changed password a few times and tried different users too. Validation from target to source works fine and it allows me to progress to step 3 on target. Protocol test works fine too between source and target. What else can it be?
Regards,
Anthony

Hi Martin,
Thank you for your answer.
1. How do I turn on maintenance state for 3.10.2?
2. What I am trying to do is "migrate out" step 2 that fails on user validation
3. There is no FW in between target-source, both are on the same VLAN
4. Tried logs, can't export from source, must be too many for a browser to process and allow me to download zip file. Tried on target but found nothing useful there (no errors or even attempts that connection was made from a source. Which log file should I be looking at , I might have missed something)
5. Debugging was on, yes. Which log file is the one that should have migration data?
6. DB seems to be ok, it only fails on user validation, doesn't get as far as DB check.
Is there anything on OME 4.0 that should be enabled in settings maybe to allow incoming "requests" from a source one. Please also note that when I run a connection test as advised above from source to target it works fine (REDFISH protocol)
Regards,
Anthony

I think you didn't understand my message. I can't get pass step 2 on source appliance to get to step 3 (export). No issue on target appliance that authenticates ok to the source and passes step 2.
The problem is to pass step 2 on source appliance, it rejects username/password for some reason.

Hi Charles,
No issue with a cert, step 1 is ok, as I said, issue is with step 2 on a source appliance in which username/password are not being recognized by the target appliance.

I did yes, and did number of copy/paste tries to be sure.
Basically I have 2 browser windows opened on the same server, one for source , the second for target on the same server.
No issue progressing to step 3 from target to source.
Is there anything that can be blocking incoming connection attempts on a new target appliance?
I actually have 2 instances of OpenManage for production and DR site. In both cases I get the same result.
New target appliance (version 4.0) can authenticate just fine to 3.10.2 but 3.10.2 not to 4.0 (protocol test being passed ok both ways)

Hi Charles,
I am referring to step 2 in Migrate Out process which is authentication from source to target appliance. Step 1 is certificate and I am using CA signed certificate with valid chain, it wouldn't let me progress to step 2 if chain would have been incorrect.
I opened a ticket with support yesterday, waiting for engineer's contact

Anthony

I got also blocked in "step 2 in Migrate Out" phase with the same error.
In my case it was due to the fact that i have a proxy server configured to go to Dell online.
After disabling the proxy settings on OME, step 2 worked all fine.

Hi jellehoylaerts
exactly the same problem, just finished a call with Dell support and they admitted there is a bug that is causing this issue and turning off proxy is the only way to progress migration from the source.
Regards,
Anthony

We are also failing at Step 2 of the Migrate Out process. We do not have a proxy setup for our connections, so it's already disabled. Changed password as recommended. Any other thoughts?

@Dell -Charles R
We have followed all prerequisites as described in that tutorial/video. Also, both instances show valid certificates have been installed. I'm trying to open a ticket with Dell, but there's no direct support channel for OpenManage Enterprise so it's been a struggle. We do not have any firewalls in between the appliances, they are on the same network segment and both can reach the Dell Repo.

@DELL-Chris H We do not require a proxy to get outside, nor is it enabled on either appliance. I've followed all of the pre-reqs and confirmed they are good.
