Restore Backup from one SG210 to another SG210 failed

GerdNesch

We have a SG210 UTM with Firmware Release 9.501-5. We made a backup of the configuration for restoring it to a new hardware (also a SG210 UTM).

The new SG210 has a 30day trail license and was manually updated to 9.501.5 and has the default IP Adress 192.168.0.1.

Now we tried to restore the backup configuration from UTM1 to UTM2.

You can import configuration file and apply it but the only result is, that you are logged off from webadmin.

When you reboot UTM2 nothing has changed.

After that I tried it with the original license-file, but nothing was changed.

Any Ideas ?

 

Regards Gerd

    Thats odd because I frequently do exactly that with the SG310's and the SG330's and it works fine ?

    Currently running 50  - SG310s, SG330s & SG450 UTM's at remote sites via the Sophos SUM

    Currently sandboxing upgrading the hardware on a SG330 to the new SX330 software

    Do you think it´s a possibility to put the configuration-file on an USB-Stick and boot UTM2 with stick connected ?

    I have done it that way - on an UTM SG 330 - but you need to do it from the Linux shell promtt - which means mounting the USB stick as /dev/sdb using the Linux mount command then run the restore commands from the command prompt - feeding the /dev/sdb/<BACKUPPATH> into the restore command - if you are not a confident Linux pilot - this may be a little tricky for you ?

     

    Kindest regards

    Gerd, I have the following procedure when a client is replacing an identical device (e.g., a 210 with a 210):

    1. On the active NICs on the current 210, set the 'Virtual MAC' to the 'MAC Address'.
    2. Configure the current 210 to be node 1 in "Hot Standby" in 'High Availability'.
    3. Factory reset the new 210.
    4. With the new 210 powered off, connect it identically to the current 210 and connect eth3 on both UTMs.
    5. Power up the new 210.
    6. When the new 210 shows as "READY" in HA, power down the old 210 and remove it.

    Erledigt!

    Cheers - Bob
