I have not yet tried a clean installation. I was attempting to avoid this as I have already spent a good amount of time customizing the SNMP event trap settings, MIB settings, setting up notification tasks for various customized hardware collections and the like. If there were a supported way to export/import these myself I would do that, but I am not aware of any such supported methods.
I have tried the 'upgrade' installation several times after the original attempt with no further success.
I can afford to wait on this; I would like to think I'm not the only one in the world who has attempted this particular installation scenario; perhaps someone else will have better luck than I did.
Thanks for the reply.
