Import config to new Smart Center

[mc_rockz]

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if i use the upgrade_import to a new smartcenter server do i need to Re-SIC the smartcenter and the gateway, Does the SIC certificate is also being exported when we use the upgrade_export tools?


appreciate your comment!

Providing you keep the same hostname / ip adress then it should work without resiccing the connection. All of the certifciates and communication settings are exported.

Hi mcnallym

Yup same server actually, we are planning to upgrade our R55 smartcenter (win2k),

What we will do is.
1. Export the config file
2. run the cpclean to uninstall the R55
3. Install the R62 and import the config file.

By right it the SIC will still be estblished between the new R62 smartcenter and R55 cluster gateways. it should right?

The SIC should be in the same state as when the config is exported.

Is cpclean the recommended uninstallation method? :)

Better ensure your upgrade_export (using the R62 version, right?) creates a valid export file before you uninstall your R55 data.

Hi,

I tried two upgrade_export (R55 and R62 Version), Both can be imported using R62 installation.

Hi mcnallym,
I already finished upgrading my smarcenter to R62, everything is ok, except the smartview monitor sees the cluster load sharing firewall (R55 Nokia IP530) memory the total memory should be 1024 Mb but instead it can only see 256 mb. The smarview monitor is not enabled on the nokia checkpoint packages, but the web voyager recognize that it has a 1024 mb of ram.

Does anybody knows why?

Can you confirm that installed the HFA for R62 on the SMARTCenter and SMARTConsole.

Hi

Actually we have 3 firewalls 1 in UAT(NGFP3) and 2 in Production running cluster(NG AI R55 HFA_04, hotfix 093-build003), in UAT its ok the smartview monitor can see the actual real memory of 1gb. but for the clusters in the production smartcenter can only see 256mb.

hi,

I already know the cause of error memory reports it it a bug on the R55 running on the gateways, when we upgraded the gateways to R62, smartmonitor reports the correct memory installed on the firewall.

Does an 'upgrade_import' on a SmartCentre server automatically capture all the license information or does this need to be done separately?

License is automacatically exported/imported too..
