Appliance Migration - Step 1 - Input Basic Details
- Assaf Cohen (Deactivated)
The "Basic Details" page contains input fields for the source and target gateways details.
Source Gateway
The source gateway needs to be an existing gateway, which was already configured to DPOD (via the Manage→Devices→Gateway)
Admin Password (Only appears if the DPOD uses a gateway user which is not "admin") - see "Changing the Admin Password" later on this page
Source Gateway - the name of the source gateway.
Certificate Name - the certificate that will be used for the Secure-Backup process
The Secure-Restore step will require you to create a Crypto Identification Credentials object on the target gateway.
The Certificate you provide on the basic details step and the Crypto Key will be required for you to create this object.
Do not start the process unless you have both of them available and at reach.
Quiesce - Whether a quiesce should be performed before the Secure-Backup starts.
Target Gateway
Target Gateway - If the target gateway is configured to DPOD, choose "Existing Monitored Gateway", and choose the gateway name from the device filter.
If the target gateway was not configured in DPOD choose "New gateway" and enter the gateway details:
- Name - the gateway name ("Appliance Name" in the gateway's system settings)
- SOMA Address and Port - address and port of the gateway's XML Management Interface
- SOMA User and password - the user and password that will be used to issue commands to the gateway
Crypto IC - the name of the Crypto Identification Credentials object, you will need to create this object on the target gateway before the Secure-Restore starts.
Quiesce - Whether a quiesce should be performed before the Secure-Restore starts..
Changing the Admin Password
After Secure-Restore is run on the target gateway, the admin user's password will always be changed to "admin"
If DPOD is already using the admin user for the source gateway, the migration process will automatically change the admin password on the target gateway to the source gateway's admin password.
If DPOD is using a different user, the migration process will change the admin password to the password you entered in the "Admin Password" field of the Source Gateway details.
