Upgrading to VMware Usage Meter

Had to upgrade Usage Meter from 3.0 to 3.2 today and found this post regarding the procedure. You can read the original one here, and this is a copy of it in case the internetz decide to lose the first one.

Edit 9.4.2015: The Upgrade procedure is the same for newer versions as well. Check your manual that upgrading (importing) is supported from the current version. For example you can upgrade Usage Meter 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 or 3.3.2 the same way.

Note:

UM3.2 supports import data from following versions only;

• vCloud Usage Meter 2.3.2
• vCloud Usage Meter 3.0.0
• vCloud Usage Meter 3.0.2
• vCloud Usage Meter 3.1.0

Detailed Steps:

1.  Download the new Usage Meter Appliance from here:
2.  Deploy and power on new appliance
3.  Assign IP address
4.  Go to Old Appliance and enable SSH

   service sshd start

5.  Go to new appliance and run command

    importum <IPADDRESS> <OldVersion>

    vCloud Usage Meter 2.3.2 --> 232
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.0.0 --> 300
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.0.2 --> 302
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.1.0 --> 310
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.3.0 --> 330
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.3.1 --> 331
    vCloud Usage Meter 3.3.2 --> 332
   

    importum xx.xx.xx.xx 232

6.  After successful completion, go to the UM 3.2 console and verify if you have all the data
7. Power off and delete the old Appliance
