Connect your upgraded McAfee ePO server to an existing 32-bit
SQL Server
When you upgrade your existing 32-bit McAfee ePO server to a 64-bit McAfee ePO 5.1.0 platform, you
can connect back to the previous 32-bit McAfee ePO SQL database. The existing database connection
information is included in the Migrate.zip file you created using the Upgrade Compatibility Utility.
This example shows the two major steps needed to use the existing 32-bit McAfee ePO database.
To reuse an existing 32-bit McAfee ePO database:
1
Use the Upgrade Compatibility Utility to convert an existing 32-bit McAfee ePO server configuration
to the new 64-bit server configuration and start a McAfee ePO custom installation. See 32-bit
Upgrade Compatibility Utility overview for details.
2
During the upgrade the existing 32-bit McAfee ePO SQL database is configured by default.
We recommend confirming that your upgraded McAfee ePO server is working correctly, then delete
the existing 32-bit McAfee ePO software from the existing server. Make sure Also remove the McAfee ePO
database is not selected during the uninstallation process or you will delete the database used by the
McAfee ePO upgrade.
Make sure two instances of McAfee ePO never try to connect to the same SQL database.
Restarting your existing McAfee ePO server if your upgrade fails
When you run the Upgrade Compatibility Utility on your existing server it changes these three McAfee
ePO services' Startup Type to Disabled.
• McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.1.x Application Server services
• McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.1.x Event Parser service
• McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.1.x Server
If the upgrade process fails and you need to restart your existing McAfee ePO server, change the
Startup Type to Automatic and restart the existing server.
To change the service Startup Type, use the Services snap-in for Windows Server. To start the snap-in,
click Start and type services.msc.
