Downloading the upgrade to iView 3 destroyed my iView 2 VM

MassimoForni

Hi, I have just pushed the "Download" button for iView 3 and after 20 seconds i got logged out from the web interface.
I was unable to login with my admin credentials and I found out the VA was factory resetted.
I could login back with admin/admin credentials and inside there was no previous configuration nor any log.
I have lost all my firewall logs...

Any one with this issue?

    Massimo,

    On my iView VM, I upgraded from version 2 to version 3 beta and then to version 3 without losing any data.

    Opening a ticket is a must ( even if you have lost data).

    Regards

    Already opened. 

    It seems there was an error during the download of the update and everything got destroyed.

    It is incredible to me that a failed download (mind you I just pressed the download, the operation did not completed, I never arrived to the point to install the update) could corrupt the whole configuration and all the data. 

     

    My support told me to just re-deploy the VM from scratch but I requested an escalation, this is a major bug. 

    Not to mention having lost all the logs...

    Same here. Upgraded from iView 2 to 3 without any issues, on VMware. My iView was installed using the ISO file (not the premade vm template).

    One important thing is: When Sophos iView will start using reliable Device IDs, like Serial Numbers, instead of IPAddress+DeviceType? I mean, multiple uplinks are a common scenario all around and everytime the device reachs the iView with a different address you end up with another device to be registered and you have no way of identifying them as the same device.

    - You cannot register multiple IPs on a Device

    - You cannot register the same hostname on multiple IPs

    - You can multipath rule the UTM to iView but if that uplink goes down you're back on the same spot either way

    iView should identify devices with a more reliable UID like Serial Numbers. It's a completely unreliable syslog tool the way it's currently designed.
