Gustavo,

The problem is with the backwards compatibility folders upon import.  To get
around this you can use the manual process for migrating a CMA.  You might
try this procedure.

1) Export each CMA as follows:
2) Login to the MDS as root.
3) Create a directory somewhere which will hold each CMA's exported
configuration.
4) Under that directory, create a directory for each customer.
5) mdsenv <cma>
6) cd $CPDIR
7) cp -R database /path/to/customer/database.cpdir
8) cd $FWDIR
9) cp -R conf /path/to/customer
10) cp -R database /path/to/customer
11) Create the customers and CMAs using the same names. Do not start any
CMAs.
12) CMA by CMA, right click, then choose "import customer management
add-on".
13) In the dialog that appears, type the appropriate path for that
customer's files. Do not enter any of the subdirectories, such as conf or
conf.cpdir, as this will cause the import to fail.
14) Apply appropriate licensing to the MDS and each CMA, and start all the
CMAs. Verify that the MDG shows the CMAs as started.
15) Apply any global policies needed.
