Migration path from Web Gateway Vers7 to Web Security

pscyner
We're looking to move from our current software appliance (Vers 7.511) to the new software appliance Web Security (version 8?).
Does anyone know of any migration path that would allow us to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

    From a licensing standpoint: You'll want to contact your reseller --- there are no SKUs in the current price list to facilitate such a change.  There's probably something that can be worked out, but the Web and Mail Gateway standalone products went EOL some time ago.

    I believe that Astaro Support can create an import file from the backup export of your old Web Gateway that would work on a V8 ASG UTM system, if it can't be done directly.

    It is very easy...make sure up2date is on then you shouls see a ton of updates.  Update to 8.00 first..go no further...once that is done..then update to 8.1...once that is done..head to 8.2..then finally the rest of the updates.  Before each series do a config backup and save it to your machine.  Obvikously this depends on your licensing being current.  If you are only going to stay with the software then my procedure will work....[:)]

    Thanks for the replies so far.

    William - We do have up2date switched on but I don't see any way to control the updates manually. We have the option to upgrade to V8 as a tab on the Up2Date panel but this asks us to download the version 8 software and install it before importing our settings from the backup of version 7.
     - I'm assuming that we'll have to do this first before doing anything else?

    On the Upgrade from v7 to v8 Tab, initiate the download, then install.  It will not take you quite to the newest version of v8.  Once you're on v8, you'll be able to apply further up2dates from there to get current.

    exactly.  do a backup before each update series..as i mentioned earlier..you'll have to do it in stages.  also for v8+ make sure you have at least 1 gig of ram..you'll really do better with 2 gigs.

    Thanks again for the help with this.

    You've put my mind at rest on the upgrade front.

    Cheers,
    Paul

    It appears I misread the OP's original post -- I thought he was talking about upgrading the old Web Gateway product, not a UTM with Web Security enabled.  Carry on [:)]

    We've installed the software and also applied the new licence file, but we're now stuck as every time we try to restore the backup config it tells us our licence has expired and we need to apply the new one. 
    Steps taken below:

    • We apply the new licence
    • Log back in and restore last config
    • Log back in and see the licence has expired, so we apply the new one again.
    • Log back in and see we're back to the step 2 of the wizard which is the restore previous backup.
    • Continuous loop until we breakdown!


    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    We've managed to get past the issue - cancelled the wizard!
    Also, the config was indeed restored and we're back online.

    Cheers for all of the help!
