Hey team.

My Management hardware of R77.30 has been crashed. so need to convert the hardware into VM any solution regarding this ?

Any procedure how to proceed. any steps ?

Export and re-import to the clearly installed VM management server is the way. However, R77.30 is out of support for ages

Thanks for suggestion,

Besides is it possible to migrate management server into VM. If yes can you share me procedure for the same ?

You still did not answer the question about the current status of your management server. Is it operational? 

For the migration, you need to do the following:
1. install a new SMS on the VM. Follow R77 Installation and upgrade guide for that.

2. Perform migrate_export from your old SMS

3. Perform migrate_export on your new SMS

pp. 2 and 3 are also mentioned in the Install and Upgrade Guide

Hi Val,

Right now management is not in operation

Can you help me what would be the VM server configuration required with hardware and Software configuration in order to migrate the management in vm.

The detailed answer would depend on the type of failure and what data from the old system is available.

Do you have snapshot or migrate export and what is the old hardware?
