BACKUP OF ALL "SMS" CONFIGURATION TO IMPORT IT TO A NEW VIRTUAL MACHINE

CJINES — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 15:45:08 GMT

I currently have SMS installed on a virtual machine, said SMS controls two physical checkpoint servers, said servers act as firewalls configured in HA (one server as master and another as slave).

Currently the virtual machine on which I have SMS installed has problems, so I need to export all the SMS configuration to replicate it on a new virtual machine that I am going to deploy.

I need the commands to be able to export the SMS configuration from the VM with problems and to be able to import the configuration on the new VM.

The path in which I would like to host the backup would be: /tmp

The current SMS firmware is R81.10 JUMBO HOTFLIX TAKE 170

migrate_server is the primary command that is relevant here.

I would agree with Chris. Migrate server is the best option here.
