Are there any guides on how to upgrade or migrate Extreme Management Center to the new XIQ-SE?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you Mark.
I see, we have typo there.
The upgrade to 21.4.10.99 is not tested from 8.5.6. as 8.5.6 was released after the 21.4.10.99.
If the customer is on 8.5.6 and wants upgrade to XIQ-SE then there are two options:

I would assume that this is a typo in the release notes. Didn’t find anything about 21.07.10. would have posted about the new firmware here. (I hope :D)
Best regards

Hi Miguel-Angel,
From what you posted one can see it is also about XIQ-SE 21.07.10
Via The Portal I only see 21.04.10
Where did you get the information (release notes) and perhaps even the binary’s for version 21.07.10?
I would be very interested in both.
regards,
Mark

Just wanted to add that I also upgraded XMC to XIQ-SE successfully. I did a normal upgrade, as if I would upgrade from XMC 8.5.1 to 8.5.2 for example. No issues - but a snapshot and/or backup is always a good idea. 🙂

I wouldn’t!!!
On version upgrades the database schema could be adapted, so installing a fresh XIQ-SE and restoring an XMC backup shouldn’t be very lucky…
The upgrade XMC->XIQ-SE is quite straight forward, I already performed that and there were no issues.
Just take a snapshot with the XMC in power off mode, start it and upgrade it.
power it off, remove the snapshot and restart it.
I power the machine to get faster snapshot management.

Thanks for getting back to me Miguel. I know licensing will change i was just curious on how the process might go.
Would it be better to spin up a clean XIQ-SE and restore a XMC database instead of upgrading? Is that possible?
