Default Re: Splitting a SmartCenter in two

Have done a similar thing. All I used was cp_merge and everything worked fine. Didn't have any problems.

It was a while ago when I did the migration, but from memory I think this was the procedure I used...

1) copy over objects_5_0.C file to new smart centre server
2) export the policy from the old smart centre server using cp_merge
3) export user accounts from old smart centre using dbexport
4) import objects into new smart centre using cp_merge
5) manually created user groups on new smart centre
6) imported users into new smart centre using dbimport
7) imported policy onto new smart centre using cp_merge
8) made appropriate adjustments to the policy as required
9) installed policy

everything was OK after doing this.

The only other preparation work I did was to ensure the policy didn't state which gateway the rules were to be installed on.


Hope this helps.
