If have finished installing PureMessage 6 alongside an existing 5.6.1 installation, you have the option of migrating policy settings and other data from your 5.6.1 installation to the new installation directory. Immediately following installation of Version 6, you are prompted to run the migration script.
The migration is done by way of a command-line tool (pmx-v6-migrate), which leads you through the steps in the required order.
Sophos Professional Services modules and settings are not imported as part of the migration. Contact Professional Services if you require any assistance. Although core configuration files are migrated, there are some configuration files that are not imported to version 6. For detailed results of the migration, see /opt/pmx6/var/log/migrate_pmxv5.log.
If you prefer to migrate data manually, or you choose not to migrate any data, do not perform these steps.
