Hi All, 

 

I think this can be helpful for someone who plans to migrate P1 NXG from
Solaris to P1 NGX on SPLAT.

 

I wrote this procedure for my team we were able successfully to migrate
all our CMAs. It's not the best one, but worked for us.

 

1) Install fresh copy of P1 NGX on the SPLAT server

2) Configure the SPALT server with any IP address and connect to the
network. 

3) Ensure that FTP server on the Solaris box is running and new P1 can
access it.

4) From the SPLAT P1 execute 

 

migrate_assist <IP-address of the CMA> /opt/CPmds-R60/customers/<CMA
name>/CPsuite-R60/fw1 <username> <password> /var/tmp/
/opt/CPmds-R60/customers/<CMA name>/CPshrd-R60 

 

This command has to be executed for each one of the CMAs and creates
directories with the CMA IP address in /var/tmp

 

5) Move all new created CMA directories from SPLAT P1 to an external
workstation (if you reinstalling P1 from scratch)

6) Change the IP address of SPLAT MDS to match the IP address of the
existing Solaris MDS. (Or install P1 from scratch and configure it with
the IP address of the Old Solaris server.) You shouldn't be doing this
on the same segment with the old P1 as this will result to duplicate IP
addresses

7) Move all CMA directories from the workstation back to the new P1
SPLAT server (if you done it in step 6 and installed fresh copy of P1)

8) Launch the GUI and install the primary MDS license. Other way you
will get an error of license incompatibility when you start importing
different CMAs and your fwm process for the CMA will not start.

9)  Create the first CMA with the same IP address as the old one. Do not
start the CMA.

10) Select import CMA from the GUI and specify the directory path where
the files for this CMA are. This will import the CMA including all the
licenses.

11) Repeat steps 9-10 for each one of the CMAs

12) Put the new SPLAT box online. All firewalls should come up and you
should be able to push policy to each one of them.

 

Good luck..
