To bypass the certificate chain requirement, follow these steps:
IMPORTANT: Do not use the procedure below if a certificate chain has been successfully uploaded to the appliance. Continue the migration using the certificate chain.

- Create a backup of the source OpenManage Enterprise appliance (v 3.10.x) using the Backup/Restore > Backup option.
- Once the backup is successful, shut down the source OpenManage Enterprise appliance.
- Create a new instance of OpenManage Enterprise with the same version as the source appliance. If needed, use the same IP or hostname details as the original appliance.
- Install the plugins that existed in the original source appliance.
- Restore the installation by using the backup file created in Step 1 using the Backup/Restore > Backup option.
- Once the restore is complete, proceed with migration by browsing Backup/Restore > Migration.
- Under Migrate Out, expand Step 1 Sign Certificate section and select Proceed with self-signed certificate option.
- Complete the next steps as mentioned in the "User's Guide" under "Migrate out an appliance" section.
- Start the migration in the target appliance (OpenManage Enterprise v 4.0.x):
- Using the Backup/Restore > Migrate option, start the Migrate In operation.
- Under Migrate In, expand Step 1 Sign Certificate section and select Proceed with self-signed certificate option.
- Complete the next steps as mentioned in the "User's Guide" under "Migrate in an appliance" section.
