Help needed to migrate from Cyberoam to SFOS

Hi, I have a CR25iNG running 10.6.3 MR-4 that I'd like to upgrade to the latest Sophos Home for personal use. So far I have not been successful.

I tried uploading SW-17.5.5_MR-5.SFW-433.gpg to the web console, but that gives an error.

I tried booting from USB using the image SW-17.5.5_MR-5-433.iso, and that says it is successful, but after it installs and reboots, I'm still on 10.6.3 MR-4 .

Do I need to upgrade the unit to 10.6.5 or 10.6.6 first before I can install SF-17.x.x? If so, can someone provide a link to the necessary firmware?

Alternatively, can someone provide links to earlier SFOS versions that I can test?

I have now updated my unit to 10.6.6 MR3, but I am still unable to upgrade from there to SFOS 17.x.x

Can someone provide the GPG for a 16.x.x build that I can try?

Hi Vigil,

A few weeks ago I was doing a similar procedure with SFOS 17.5 and everything works. CR25iNG has only 2GB RAM which is a problem. I suggest disabling IPS and ATP and replacement HDD to the SSD, was not to restart after the update of IPS and can be sensibly manage this.

Thanks Jan,

If we open the case, we should be able to upgrade the RAM :-)

So you went directly from 10.6.6 to SFOS 17.5?

Can you confirm you used the SW-17.5.5_MR-5-433.iso to upgrade?

Here's my current scenario:

1. Flash SW-17.5.5_MR-5-433.iso to USB drive (I used BalenaEtcher)

2. Insert USB drive to CR25-iNG and power cycle

3. Connect to console 38400 8N1.

4. I see the prompt to install and I press Y<Enter>

5. After ~20 minutes the unit starts playing Fur Elise and tells me to remove the USB and press Y to reboot.

6. I reboot but the unit is still running 10.6.6 MR3

I appreciate any assistance here.

Hi Vigil,

RAM can not be expanded. Before installation, you can replace HDD on SSD. Recently I installed the SW-17.5.3_MR-3-372.iso version on the CR25iNG. Earlier, after installing SW-16, I did updates in the normal mode (from a .gpg file) to version 17.5. During the installation, pay attention to messages, whether there are any errors, whether the disks are formatted, etc. A strange thing with this point 6.

Apologies, I was looking inside an old CR-35iA and that had DIMM slots, so I assumed this model was the same.

So if I understand correctly, you went from Cyberoam 10 -> SFOS 16 (using ISO) -> SFOS 17 (using GPG)?

I'm trying to go directly from Cyberoam OS 10 -> SFOS 17 and perhaps that is why it's failing

Do you have a copy of the SW-16 ISO that I can use to try to update?

Unfortunately, I do not have the SW-16.x.x file. It was 2 years ago, I deleted it from the disk. 2 years ago I made a migration from CR 10.6.3 to SFOS and later I recorded a home version of SFOS v16 from a .iso file. Two months ago, when I exchanged HDD on SSD, I installed SFOS from SW-17.5.3_MR-3-372.iso file and I had no problems.

OK thanks.

I'm now convinced I need to upgrade to v16 before I can get to v17, but I need to find the v16 download first.

An update:

I have successfully updated to 16.05 using the file HW-SFOS_16.05.0_GA.SF210-117.gpg after some initial issues.

The Cyberoam accepted the file, and then I choose to boot that image, but it failed to boot (no web console, no DHCP).

I plugged the console cable in, and it gave a number of errors (couldn't load swap, etc)

I tried to resolve it by first logging in to the console and resetting the unit to factory defaults (see https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/130354)

However that still did not fix the booting problem. I then logged into the unit with password "RESET" and after the unit had rebooted, the web console was available at https://172.16.16.16:4444

Next I'll try to go to SFOS 17.5
