Conversion Utility UTM 9 to XG

Jae Lupo As alda mentioned, there are limitations with the current version of the UTM to XG migration assistant. As a result, additional migration work may be required or advised. I would advise to reach out your Sophos Partner to help guide you with your migration.

For reference, take a look at the Sophos Migration Assistant Guide here (specifically pg 9 -Appendix A: Conversions and limitations).

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via DM if you had any other questions or concerns.

Hello FloSupport,

" there are some limitations" - a truly excellent euphemism for the useless !

You don't even know how your migration tool works because what I found in my analysis is not mentioned in the Release Notes, in the Sophos Migration Assistant Guide, or in the migration process too.

Do you know what firewall rules are not migrated during migration ( they are  lost during migration and there is no record of this ) or what network object is so badly migrated that it completely change the entire firewall policy?!?

Oh my God!

You really do not know how your migration tool works ...

Hi alda 

Would it be possible to PM me with the results from your analysis so that I can forward these to team who manages the Migration Assistant?

Thanks,

Hello FloSupport, that's a big surprise  that you do not have my analysis.  Because I did the analysis for the European Sophos Support.

So... are Home Users such as myself eventually be able to access this tool if we want to migrate?  The XG platform alone is status quo confusion to figure out after using UTM for so long.  None of the interfaces really make much sense.  It would be nice to at least use the tool to migrate to an XG set up in a VM so we can see where our rules are going and how they are set up, even if it's not everything.

I don't have anything that's out of this world in terms of setting up things, but the time involved and setting things up correctly could be improved by using the tool to at least see where things are going.  I tried XG once - and dropped it just a few days later because the setup alone, even though I thought it was correct - wasn't correct at all and out of frustration was uninstalled immediately.

Hi Amodin 

Let me check with the Team responsible to inquire about if/when a possible release for Home Users would be available.

I guess that's a 'no'?

Hi Amodin,

That's correct. Unfortunately this tool remains only accessible for use by Sophos Partners.
