Hi Guys
I am in process of swapping out my gateways with new models.
What is the correct way of doing this?
Is it by creating new objects and a new policy, building it side by side via the management port, or would you use the existing object and modify it?
Cheers
That can really be up for debate...I used old object before, modified it and it worked. Is it best method? Probably not, but it works. Personally, I prefer deleting existing object and simply creating new one, start from scratch and then you can just replace it in place of an old object. I actually did that for a customer on the weekend and worked perfect.
As far as policy, I would not touch it, as long as you plan to use same one, which I assume you would.
Your opening words and mine are very similar - a GW cluster of high-end units replaced by even more high-end units is better constructed from scratch for less errors, i would assume.
Thats also my experience with the process.
As always - that depends ! Usually, you just replace the hardware, do FTW and GAiA config, edit the GW object to contain the correct appliance model and port config, re-establish SIC and install policy.
