Merging SmartCentre servers?

[OzJavelin]

Hi,

Just wondering what's the best way to merge objects/rulebases from one SmartCentre server to another, which already has it's own objects/rulebases? Basically I want to have an extended set of objects, and multiple active rulebases managed by a single SmartCentre server (which will eventually be HA'd). The current mgmt/enforcement modules are all NG R55 ..

Previously I benchtested using cp_merge merge_objects/import_policy which worked, however when testing now I keep getting "Not in scope" errors on the import_policy. Using upgrade_import just overwrites the whole setup of the existing server.

Suggestions?

Hi,

You can only use cp_merge with SMARTCenters of the same version, ie R55 and R55. To merge an R55 and R61, you would need to upgrade the R55 to R61 first and then use cp_merge.

The not in scope is usually in the NAT rules. I usually get when changing a rule from hide NAT to Static NAT.

I find that if I create a new empty NAT and then create that rather then changing the existing NAT rule works for me.
