Management server unavailable after import.

GoodDay,

Im in the process of setting up a backup/restore process for a checkpoint management server.

Up until this point I've manged to login using the API, create a export using export-management

Now I'm testing with import-management. and this seems to run ok

Body

{

"file-path": "/mnt/cpfwtest/backup.tgz" (this is mapped to a external file share, same as in the export-management command)

}

is: 200/OK

{

"task-id": "<task_id>",

"login-required": "True"

}

but when i try to login to the management server using the local client, i receive the message that the domain does not exist.

I'm however able to login to the Gaia (https://<ipaddress:port>) portal without any issues.

Check if the management server is up, API is enabled, and the API clients are not restricted

You need to monitor the task-id returned by the API in order to confirm the domain import has been completed.

Sorry for the late response, i've been out of the running for a while.

Apparently the issue has been solved by placing the the backup in a other file location. /var/*
where it first was on a mnt location.
