Migration Prerequisites

Synergy SKY Platform Configuration

The Synergy SKY product has been deployed and running in a virtualized environment and the basic platform configuration has been completed. If this requirement is not already fulfilled, please start here.
Previous JOIN 5.0 Installation

Ensure your Windows server is running JOIN Version 5.x. If you are currently running an older version of JOIN(3.2, 4.0, 4.1), you must upgrade to JOIN 5.0. Current CONTROL/ANALYZE version does not matter.

This is typically located at http://localhost:555

Ensure that your Synergy SKY Management Suite server can reach port 5432 on your Windows server
