It does not take care of anything platform related, such as Hostname, IP addresses or routes. But the high point on using upgrade_export is that you can move from one platform to another with no issues (Nokia, SPLAT, Windows, Solaris, Linux). So if you have a nice Nokia appliance and it dies, you can bring an open server and run SPLAT on it with your configuration while a new Nokia comes as replacement.
One important thing to take in count is having the same host name and IP addressing on the new box before loading the export with upgrade_import. The hostname is important to avoid getting your ICA corrupted (if you fail on this, it becomes a mess resetting the ICA), the IP addressing because your CP licenses are binded to an IP, if the IP does not match, licenses become invalid and CP services wont't start. Hope this info helps. On 9/26/06, Kim Longenbaugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
