Smart-1 High Availability Migration

[Nohfendi1]

Hi Expert,

I have planning to migrate export-import from 77.30 to 80.40 with HA deployment. The Primary hostname is : CPTEST01 and the secondary hostname is : CPTEST03. My customer want to change the Secondary hostname in new smart-1 from CPTEST03 to CPTEST02. My question :

1. Migrate export-import is only on primary ?

2. What the impact if the hostname in the secondary smart-1 is different with existing smart-1 ?

Thank you.

Yes, you only perform a migrate export/import only on the primary.
You do a fresh install of the secondary and reconfigure the Management HA afterwords.
I don't believe the hostname will make a difference here.

Thanks PhoneBoy

one more question, can I migrate export/import from dedicated SmartEvent server 77.30 to non dedicated SmartEvent server (combine with Security management Server 80.40) ?

If yes, Plese share the reference

Thanks a lot !

There are pretty significant differences between SmartEvent R77.30 and R80.40.
You can't really upgrade, only reinstall and reimport the old logs.

Hi PhoneBoy

Can you please share to me the steps or reference document how to migrate export from dedicated SmartEvent Server (r77.30) to non dedicated SmartEvent Server (r80.40) (combine with management) ?
Thank a lot !

I would contact TAC as they could also help you during migration in a RAS...
