How long migrating is ???? :-(

Hi all@forum,

I have just installed a 7.306 ASL, installed license, perform a first backup, imported a V6.303 Backup & then push the "Restore" Button : after more 30", nothing happened !!!

Do I need to perform first an installation with an older V7 one (ie 7.003), perform a restore from a V6, reinstall V 7.304 and THEN restore a V7.003 Backup ???

I'm very frustrated about this migration :-(

Regards

  • Trouspinette, there's an additional tab for upgrading from V6.303 - 'V6 backup import'.

    Is that what you used?

    Cheers - Bob

    Yes, I dit it by this way.

    I think I'm gonna try to install a V7.0, import 6.303 backup, create a new V7.9 backup, install a 7.3x, and then import the V7.0 backup;

    But do you have an idea ???

  • At least two people on the forums had problems with the ASL 7.302 ISO.  Their problems were solved by loading the 7.300 ISO and upgrading from there.  I don't know if the problem was fixed in the 7.304 ISO.

  • Hi all,
    the problem is that the restore from v. 6 to v.7 is possible only from 6.310 o next to v 7.

    Ciao
  • Who told you that, Ivano80?  You may be correct that there's a bug, but this is the first I've heard of it.

    Thanks - Bob

  • Automatic (in-place) upgrades of appliances are only available in v6.310 and up.  You should be able to import a 6.303 or above backup into a v7 system.

    Have you tried multiple v6 backups? I may be that the one you are using is corrupt.
  • I think that this is a best practise, but I'm not a Astaro expert. Excuse me if this isn't correct and if I was imprecise.

    Ciao
  • I would expect that the 'V6 backup import' in V7.3x would work better than the one in V7.000.  If you are having difficulties, then I would suspect that either the V7 ISO or the V6 backup you are using is corrupted.

    Please see Jack's comment below.  My following statement was incorrect: [SIZE="1"]In the above, Jack meant "6.301" not "6.310" backups and above can be imported into V7.[/SIZE]

    Cheers - Bob

  • To clarify- for a hardware appliance to have the option to perform and in-place upgrade by clicking a button in WebAdmin, you must be at 6.310 or above to have that option.
    6.303 or above is all that is required for the backup import.
  • Yes, thanks, Jack.  I had forgotten about that since the only current V6 site I help manage is on an HP PC, not an Astaro appliance, so there's no in-place upgrade available for it.

    Thanks again for participating here and keeping the "culture" on the right path.

    Cheers - Bob
