Well, whenever it gets released is anyone's guess, but Remedy has been working for some time on a White Paper showing how to migrate ITSM 6 into CMDB 2.0. Since that would, in part, be converting the CMDB 1.x CDM into the CMDB 2.0 CDM, you might wait a bit for that to come out and use it.

We will be copying the database from one machine to another, then installing ARS, including CMDB 2.0. The "BMCR AtriumR CMDB 2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide" p15 says: ******* Upgrading to version 2.0 from a previous version of the BMC Atrium CMDB is not supported at this time. You must install on a machine that does not have a previous version installed. WARNING: If you run the installer on a machine with a previous version installed, the installer will detect this and attempt to upgrade your BMC Atrium CMDB. This upgrade is not supported by BMC Software. ****** We have data in our CMDB forms. What are we supposed to do? Export the data, uninstall the old CMDB, then re-import the data when we are all done? Please say it ain't so.
