restore backup on different HW

The big question, what happens to the NIC asignments?.
i need to completely migrate a SW install to a totally differnet HW and rebuilding the insanely complicated and long config from scratch is not a viable option(there's also an issue with SSL certs for existing remote users where reinstalling the client/config is NOT possible and there can be NO downtime ue to this)

i've done this before on a soft to UTM HW and it nuked all my NIC definitions save ONE that *luckily* had an intel driver (turned out to be a static eth wan so i didn't got locked out).
But hwta happens if no nic is the same/use the same driver, why doesn't backup restore asks *wizard like* to remap NICs before rebooting?

is there a way to change the eth->IF assignments on the shell using the CC commands?

From Goldy's very useful thread:
Change NIC order
As root:
# edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Save the file and restart the ASG so the new order is loaded.

Of course, the other solution is to just plug the Ethernet cables into the appropriate NICs. [:D]

Have you tried manipulating the "itfhw" objects?

cc get_objects_filtered '$_->{class} eq "itfhw"'

after reading your answers and toying with the forum i came across just what teched says, editing the itfhw entries in CC on the "useful console commands" thread(which should be a sticky), perfect and all working

Mast, please look at the 70-persistent-net.rules file and confirm for us that this was changed by cc.
