R80.10 Management Database Merge

[finlyjacob]

Hi Everyone,

Our Organization is at the process of shutting down unnecssary security gateways while merging Management database between our main Clusters of Management servers.

Right now we are focusing on moving some policies along with it's functional gateways to the main management server which was recently upgraded to R80.10 , our older management server (which will be shutted down in a few months , still at R77.30) contains 2 gateways that we wish to upgrade to R80.10 As Well , so they need to be managed under the R80.10 SMS.

FYI, We completed several steps to reach our target:

1. Exported and Imported the Old SMS DB into a NSX Managed R77.30 SMS.

2. Removed any policies/rules that are not related to those two cluster SG.

3. performed a PUV on the NSX SMS , fixed the errors shown and upgraded that SMS to R80.10 Succesfully along with its corresponding DB.

The next step was to add the DB (literally left all we wanted to transfer) from R80.10 NSX SMS to Our Main Environment SMS (not in place of).

That's where we are struggling , we tried to export the policy through the actions window as a CSV file and to import as a bulk adding to the other DB with the API command mgmt_cli --batch file.csv .

Should we try contact Checkpoint Support PS to run SmartOptimize or use a python script?

Is there any other known solution?

Best Regards,

MOD.
