I am currently running Orion NCM 7.1.1 as a standalone server polling/backing up over 3000 nodes.
I also have a single Orion NPM SLX 10.4.1 server polling 176 nodes .
I am adding 4 stacked SLX APE to this Primary SLX server which will give me capacity to monitor all 3000+ nodes above with NPM.
Question, how can I merge the standalone NCM with the new NPM and when should I upgrade each module?
When all is said and done I want to shutdown the standalone NCM server and be running NPM 10.7 & NCM 7.2 on my Primary poller and 4 APE's, without loss of data if possible.
