Export a Policy Package

[MtxMan]

Hi Checkmates,

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to transition/export a policy packgae called"Branch_XXX" quickly to brand-new management? How do I migrate the policy package"Branch_XXX" to a different management server? so, my team won't manually map policies, for that reason.

Current condition:

• MGMT VM -> has 3 policy package (Perimeter, Internal, Branch_XXX)
• Branch deciding to buy a new management -> Smart-1 600-M to covering 2 FW + Branch_XXX policy package

Any idea? Thank you 😄

I know you can do migrate_server, but that imports EVERYTHING, not only policies. Not sure if there is an easy way to do only policy packages, maybe someone else can confirm.

so for the best option is creating configuration from scratch?

yeah i already check it, but i just worried if i import the phyton package to the management then impacted to the existing operational... do you have any suggestion?

It shouldn't impact operations.
It or similar scripts/programs that leverage the API are your only option beyond rebuilding from scratch.
