3.5 Post-Upgrade Tasks

After you upgrade the PlateSpin Migrate software, you must perform the following tasks to resume normal operations of the PlateSpin Server:

  1. Reapply the required configuration settings in PlateSpin Configuration at

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/platespinconfiguration/

  2. Verify that the upgraded PlateSpin Server has a pre-compiled blkwatch driver for your workloads. See Linux Distributions Supported by Migrate in your User Guide.

    You should upload again any custom Linux blkwatch drivers you need for future migrations that you backed up before the upgrade in Backing Up Your Custom Linux blkwatch Drivers Before Upgrade.

    If a pre-compiled driver is not available, you can create a custom blkwatch driver by following the steps found in the Knowledgebase Article 7005873.

  3. Resume all scheduled or paused replications and migration jobs.

  4. Verify that your PlateSpin Server and replications are working properly.

  5. (Optional, recommended) If you have not previously set a custom password for the SQL system administrator user (sa), consider setting a secure password at this time.

    See Modifying the Password for the SQL Server Express System Administrator User.

  6. (Optional) Configure the Migrate Server and source workloads to connect using only the TLS 1.2 protocol. See
