How configuration objects will be converted
Configuration Objects:
Notes:
Match Rules
Converted completely.
Local Peer Configuration
Only the local peer is converted. See "Failover" below.
Switch Ports
Converted completely.
VLANs
Automatically added as a VLAN with a single subnet on EQ/OS 10.
Responders
Converted completely if responder files are present in the backup.
They will be automatically added.
Servers
Added as global server objects and server instances within server
pools.
The Server VID is now deprecated, and servers are automatically
considered to be part of a particular subnet, based on their IP
address. If using multi netting with servers, start with the converted
configuration and then modify it by adding an additional subnet in a
VLAN to achieve the multi-netting desired.
Outbound NAT is configured differently now. (via networking as
opposed to server configuration). You will need to manually verify and
set up Outbound NAT after converting the configuration.
Clusters
Converted completely (with the exception of "Certificates" as
described below).
Send and receive socket options are not converted because they are
deprecated. These are automatically managed in EQ/OS 10.
Cluster VID is now deprecated. See the note about Server VID above.
VMware server configuration for VLB basic
Converted completely.
Email alerts
Converted completely. These are converted into email notification
alerts.
Envoy configuration
Not converted
Smart Control events
Not converted
Failover
Not completely converted. Only the "local" peer is converted. It is
recommended that you reconfigure failover after the conversion.
Users
Not converted. Because the password is encoded, there is no way to
add a user automatically -- manual intervention is needed to type the
password. Also, the permissions model is different in EQ/OS 10, so
there can be no direct conversion between them.
Certificates
Not converted. They are not present in the EQ/OS 8.6 backup file. You
will need to manually reinstall them.
