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]
