1. Install NMIS9, should install without any issues
2. Import the old nmis8 configuration and review important configuration options
3. Remove the nmis 8 cron jobs in /etc/cron.d/nmis
4. Rename the omk directory

   
   

   Code Block
   mv /usr/local/omk /usr/local/omk-old

   
   

5. Run the installer for the new NMIS9 application, e.g. opCharts

6. Rename the new omk/conf directory

   
   

   Code Block
   mv /usr/local/omk/conf /usr/local/omk/conf-original

   
   

7. Copy the omk-old/conf directory into the new omk/

   
   

   Code Block
   cp -rf /usr/local/omk-old/conf /usr/local/omk

   
   

8. Convert the .nmis files in omk/conf/ directory into .json using the opcommon-cli tool

   
   

   Code Block
   /usr/local/omk/bin/opcommon-cli.exe act=convert_json_dir dir="/usr/local/omk/conf/"

   
   

9. Change any "nmis_dir" and "nmis8" entries to "nmis9_dir" and "nmis9" in the omk/conf/opCommon.json file. You can do this manually or by using the following Perl regex

   
   

   Code Block
   perl -p -i -e 's/nmis_dir/nmis9_dir/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json perl -p -i -e 's/nmis8/nmis9/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json perl -p -i -e 's/nmis_logs/nmis9_logs/g' /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json

   
   

10. Change the "load_applications" entry in the opCommon.json file to only show the NMIS9 application recently installed. You can do this manually or by running the required patch_config commands to delete each application from the "load_applications" entry, except for the one that was recently installed.

    
    

    Code Block
