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.

API Connect

If the source gateway is part of an API-Connect environment, please pay attention to the following notes:

• When connecting a gateway to an API Connect environment for the first time, the Application Optimization feature is automatically enabled on that gateway.
• To complete the restore phase of this migration process, the target gateway must also have the Application Optimization feature enabled.
• If the Application Optimization feature is not enabled on the target gateway, you may contact the gateway support team for assistance.

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
