Upgrading the R76 Security Management Server with Compliance Blade Hotfix to R77
- Download the improved migration tools:
- Transfer the improved migration tools file to the Security Management Server into some directory:
- on Gaia / SecurePlatform / Linux OS - e.g.,
/some_path_to_migration_tools/
- on Windows OS - e.g.,
C:\some_path_to_migration_tools\
- Unpack the improved migration tools package:
- on Gaia / SecurePlatform / Linux OS:
[Expert@HostName]# cd /some_path_to_migration_tools/
[Expert@HostName]# tar zxvf Check_Point_migration_tools_R77.linux30.tgz
- on Windows OS:
Use any application that works with archive files (WinZIP, WinRAR, 7-Zip, IZArc, etc.) to unpack the Check_Point_migration_tools_R77.WIN32.tgz file inside the C:\some_path_to_migration_tools\.
- Stop the R76 Security Management Server by running the following command:
cpstop
- Export the database using the improved migration tools:
- on Gaia / SecurePlatform / Linux OS:
[Expert@HostName]# cd /some_path_to_migration_tools/
[Expert@HostName]# ./migrate export /path_to_exported_database_file/name_of_exported_database_file
- on Windows OS:
- Open Windows Command Prompt:
Start - Run... - cmd - OK
- Run the migration tools:
C:\> cd "C:\some_path_to_migration_tools\"
C:\some_path_to_migration_tools\> migrate export C:\path_to_exported_database_file\name_of_exported_database_file
Notes:
- This operation will extract the database and configuration settings from a Security Management Server.
- The '
name_of_exported_database_file' is just the name of the file - without any extension.
- In a High Availability deployment, you must export the Primary Security Management Server.
- Transfer the exported database TGZ file from the R76 machine to your computer.
- Perform a fresh install of R77.
Refer to:
- Transfer the exported database TGZ file to the R77 machine.
- Stop the R77 Security Management Server by running the following command:
cpstop
- Import the database that was exported from R76 machine:
Refer to R77 Installation and Upgrade Guide - Chapter 10 'Advanced Upgrade and Database Migration'
- on Gaia / SecurePlatform / Linux OS:
[Expert@HostName]# cd $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools/
[Expert@HostName]# ./migrate import /absolute_path_to_exported_database_file/name_of_exported_database_file.tgz
- on Windows OS:
- Open Windows Command Prompt:
Start - Run... - cmd - OK
- Run the migration tools:
C:\> cd "%FWDIR%\bin\upgrade_tools\"
C:\...\bin\upgrade_tools\> migrate import C:\absolute_path_to_exported_database_file\name_of_exported_database_file.tgz
- Start the R77 Security Managemenr Server:
cpstart
Upgrading the R76 Multi-Domain Security Management Server with Compliance Blade Hotfix to R77
- Download these improved migration tools (
mds_migration_tools.tgz).
- Transfer the
mds_migration_tools.tgz file to the Multi-Domain Security Management Server (into some directory, e.g., /some_path_to_migration_tools/).
- Unpack the improved migration tools package:
[Expert@HostName]# cd /some_path_to_migration_tools/
[Expert@HostName]# tar zxvf mds_migration_tools.tgz
- Stop the R76 Multi-Domain Security Management Server by running the following command:
[Expert@HostName]# mdsstop
- Export the database using the improved migration tools:
[Expert@HostName]# cd /some_path_to_migration_tools/
[Expert@HostName]# ./mds_migration_tools/linux/p1_install/mds_setup
Notes:
- Follow the instructions on the screen - choose the option "
Export current Multi-Domain Server".
- This operation will extract the database and configuration settings from a Multi-Domain Server and its associated Domain Management Servers.
- In a High Availability deployment, you must export the Primary Multi-Domain Server. If the target Multi-Domain Server uses a different leading IP address than the source server, you must change the Multi-Domain Server IP address and the external interface.
- Transfer the exported database TGZ file from the R76 machine to your computer.
The TGZ file conforms to the following naming convention:
exported_mds_DDMMMYYYY-HHMMSS.tgz
Example: exported_mds_18Nov2013-113856.tgz
- Perform a fresh install of R77.
Refer to:
- Transfer the exported database TGZ file to the R77 machine.
- Stop the R77 Multi-Domain Security Management Server by running the following command:
[Expert@HostName]# mdsstop
- Import the database that was exported from R76 machine:
Refer to R77 Installation and Upgrade Guide - Chapter 8 'Upgrading Multi-Domain Security Management' - Smart-1 and Open Servers - Exporting and Importing a Multi-Domain Server - Importing a Multi-Domain Server deployment
[Expert@HostName]# $MDSDIR/scripts/mds_import.sh /absolute_path_to_database_TGZ_file/exported_mds_DDMMMYYYY-HHMMSS.tgz
- Start the R77 Multi-Domain Security Management Server:
[Expert@HostName]# mdsstart
