List of Supported Gateways

  • Source Gateways - XG45, XI52, XB52, IDG, IDG X2
  • Target Gateways - IDG, IDG X2
  • Physical & Virtual (OVA) Form Factor only

Prerequisites & Assumptions

  • The source and the target gateways should be up and running to perform backup and restore (not necessarily at the same time).
  • The source gateway must be registered to DPOD before process begins.
  • Target gateway may or may not be registered to DPOD before the process begins.
  • Target gateway must have XML Management Interface enabled. The XML Management Interface must be accessible via the MGMT network interface.
  • The system must be able to communicate with the XML Management Interface of both gateways using SOMA requests with supplied user and password.
  • Target gateway will have a temporary management IP address (before the restore) to allow running the Secure-Restore.
  • Target gateway will have a different system identifier (device name) than the source gateway.
  • Private and public keys must be available before secure backup or restore start.
  • Public key must be uploaded to the source gateway while Crypto IC object must be uploaded to the target gateway before the restore begins.

Limitations

  • The migration process cannot be executed in DPOD's Developer or Docker Edition.
  • The migration process will not handle the following:
    • B2B persistence store data
    • HSM data
    • RAID data
    • Gateways configured with Application Optimization
    • Gateways configured with Link Aggregation/Standby-Control
    • Custom system health metrics, device groups and DNS translations configured for the source gateway in the system
