EQ/OS 8.6 to EQ/OS 10.0 Configuration Converter
Conversion using the CLI
1. Create a backup of the EQ/OS 8.6 system. Refer to the
Equalizer Administration Guide
for
EQ/OS 8.6 for instructions.
2. Upgrade your EQ/OS 8.6 system to EQ/OS 10. Refer to the Equalizer Administration Guide
for instructions.
3. Upload the EQ/OS 8 backup file onto the system:
eqcli >
files download [
URL or Path to *.bkp file
]
For example:
eqcli > files download ftp://10.0.0.10/os8backup.bkp
4. Convert the backup file into a EQ/OS 10 CLI script:
eqcli>
cfg_convert file [
backup filename
] outfile [
output
filename
]
For example:
eqcli> cfg_convert file os8backup.bkp outfile os8cfg.script
This will create a CLI script file, also in the EQ/OS 10 data store. It will also create
files for any “sorry” responders in the datastore. The script will be a list of eqcli
commands to create converted configuration objects and comments describing
parameters which could not be converted. For example:
cluster myclust proto "tcp" ip 10.0.0.10 port 1 range 4999 stickyto 3500
idleto 36000
# Unsupported user touch option: desc = touch (unable to migrate this
option, it must be hand converted)
Note
- When viewing the translated file, look for lines that begin with "#" (comments). These are lines which could not
be converted with the reason displayed. Make a note of these lines and determine whether the parameters described by
them are important to them. If they are, they will need to be manually configured later. If not, they can be ignored.
