Before proceeding with the migration steps, consider the following prerequisites for adding an existing On-Premise Poller to an On-Premise Poller Group.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites apply to the existing On-Premise Poller, whether it has associated monitors or not:

The On-Premise Poller cannot be added to the On-Premise Poller Group if:

• It is designated as a secondary location in any user-defined location profile.
• It is currently down, or if it has a standby On-Premise Poller, the standby is down.
• It is already part of another On-Premise Poller Group.
• Its version is below 6.0.0.
• It has an associated High Availability On-Premise Poller (standby), and the standby version is below 6.0.0.

The On-Premise Poller can be added if:

• It is a system-generated location profile.
• It is set as the primary location in any user-defined location profile.
• When the primary On-Premise Poller is added to the group, its associated High Availability On-Premise Poller, if configured, will be added as the standby, while the primary On-Premise Poller continues its role as the main On-Premise Poller within the On-Premise Poller Group.
