Best way to upgrade?

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I’m using UTM home edition on dedicated PC. I have been holding at v9.1x for a long time due to the Intel e1000 hang issue.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I want to update to the latest version but I need the advice of the experts on here. I purchased a Broadcom server NIC to avoid the e1000 hang issue. I even have a spare computer I can use.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]  
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]What’s the best way for me to update and keep all of my current settings which are quite extensive? I am thinking that maybe the best way is to keep the current system in place and add the spare PC with a fresh install and a temporary gateway IP. That way, I can log into both and copy settings.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]  
[/SIZE][/FONT] 
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Is this the best approach? Can I have both PC’s up at the same time and change the gateway IP of the new UTM to match that of the current UTM once I have all of the settings in place and remove the existing UTM from the network? Can I transfer my certs? How?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Is there a better way?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Thanks,[/SIZE][/FONT]

  • It depends on the chipset not all intel nics are affected.  Search for it i detailed that information. Of course if you have a broadcom nic handy I would make a config backup...install the nic into your current machine..reinstall with 9.3 latest version and restore your backup...

  • Thanks for the info William.


    Since I now have a backup box, I went ahead started from scratch and reinstalled using the latest 9.308 ISO. I then restored the backup from 9.1x and so far, all seems good.


    Cheers!
