[FW-1] Replacing management station
Hi,
We're running a management station on a Linux box. The hardware is slow
(old), the disk is to small and we're running 4.1-SP2
What we would like to do is to install a new Linux box with better hardware
and larger disks. We would like to reuse the same IP address and at the same
time upgrade to 4.1-SP5.
If we have everything prepared, we could just do a switch-over by moving the
network cable to the management station. Is this possible? I understand that
the best way would be to do a 'fwstop' at the old box, copy some files and
the do a 'fwstart' at the new box.
If this is possible, which is the best way to do it?
Should I install the FW software on the new box and then transfer everything
in $FWDIR/conf/ and $FWDIR/log from the old box to the nex box? Or should we
do it in some other way?
Is it possible to upgrade the management station from SP2 to SP5 at the same
time or is that a bad thing to do? How will the inspection module (still on
SP2) react when the management station is on a higher SP-level?
