Migrate Managed Servers

Collect & Transfer Migration Data

Gather the configuration and database of each managed FortiNAC server to be migrated in this window. For High Availability pairs, collect the data for both primary and secondary servers.

1. Open CLI sessions to each CentOS appliance. Log in as root.

2. Run tool to gather the configuration and database. In each appliance, type:

   bundleCentOSMigration

   The resulting file is written to the /root directory using the naming convention centos-backup-<year>_<month>_<day>_<hr>_<min>_<sec>.zip

   Example:

   > bundleCentOSMigration

   Bundling migration archive

   Adding: bsc/campusMgr/bin/.cm_config (deflated 36%)

   <…>

   Archive is named centos-backup-2023_01_11_14_39_20.zip

   Perform the following steps on each appliance:

3. Copy the .zip file from the CentOS appliance to the corresponding FortiNAC-OS appliance. Log in to the FortiNAC-OS appliance CLI as admin and type:

   execute enter-shell

   scp root@<CentOS eth0 IP address>:/root/<centos backup zip file> ./

   Example:

   CentOS eth0 IP address: 192.168.4.2

   centos-backup-2023_01_11_14_39_20.zip file saved in /root

   # execute enter-shell

   :~$ scp root@192.168.4.2:/root/centos-backup-2023_01_11_14_39_20.zip ./

4. Type yes if prompted to continue connecting.

5. Enter the root CLI password of the CentOS appliance when prompted.

6. Once transfer is complete and the prompt is returned, type:

   exit

   The # prompt will return.

7. Restore the original configuration on the new FortiNAC managed servers (cutover). Click on the appropriate link for instructions.
