Migrate from NetScaler Insight Center to Citrix ADM

You can now migrate your NetScaler Insight Center deployment to Citrix ADM without losing the existing configuration, settings, or data. With Citrix ADM you can not only view the various analytics generated by the NetScaler instances associated with an application, but can also manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the entire global application delivery infrastructure from a single, unified console.

Note

Migration is currently supported only on NetScaler Insight Center Standalone instances.

Prerequisites

Before migrating the NetScaler Insight Center virtual appliance to Citrix ADM, verify that the following requirements have been met:

• NetScaler Insight Center 11.1 Build 47.14 or later is installed.

• You have downloaded the Citrix ADM 12.0 build 57.24 .tgz image file.

  Note

  You need to install Citrix ADM 12.0 build 57.24 and then upgrade to the latest Citrix ADM 12.1 build. For more information, see Upgrade
  .

• You have downloaded the Citrix ADM 12.1 latest build .tgz image file.

Hardware Requirement

Installation procedure

To migrate NetScaler Insight Center to Citrix ADM:

1. Log on to shell prompt of NetScaler Insight Center.

2. Download the Citrix ADM 12.0 build 57.24 to the /var/mps/mps_images folder.

3. Untar the TGZ file by using the tar -zxvf build-mas-12.0-57.24.tgz command.  

   

4. Install Citrix ADM by using the ./installmas command.

   

5. After installing Citrix ADM 12.0 build 57.24, you need to upgrade to the latest Citrix ADM 12.1 build by performing the above steps.

After the migration, all the NetScaler instances that were discovered in the NetScaler Insight Center inventory appear in the Networks > Instances section of Citrix ADM. However, for the first time you need to manually poll the virtual servers hosted in the discovered appliances.

Note

In Citrix ADM, by default, there is no licensing cost to manage and monitor 30 virtual servers created within the discovered NetScaler instances. To monitor and manage more than 30 virtual servers, install the required MAS licenses. For more details, see Citrix ADM Licensing
