One of the things that we've used lately is the fact that all Nokia configuration is stored in a file in /config/db, usually /config/db/initial. In backing up the Nokia piece, we just grab that file. The procedure we have for restore then does a standard install of IPSO, drops in the appropriate initial file, reboots, then does CP install and config.
Looking at that file it appears to be a flat file, although there is some order to it. You'll note that any configuration setting you've ever made is probably listed in that file, but the active sections seem to be followed by the letter "t". I've just built a set of files by taking working 380's and editing for a new gateway deployments ip's etc, but haven't had a chance to test if this type of flat file editing will actually work. Has anyone else tried this?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is any issue to restore configuration from IP380 with 8 interfaces to another IP380 with only 4 interfaces? Is it possible to modify the configuration file so that I can restore the subset configuration to the new system with less interfaces? In addition, is it possible to restore from cluster firewall to single node? Will upgrade_export work as well or there is any tweak I need to make?
This is for DR practice.
Thanks.
Wayne
