In a migration and upgrade scenario, you perform the procedure on the source Multi-Domain Server and the different target Multi-Domain Server.
Note - This procedure is supported only for a Multi-Domain Server that runs R80.20.M1 or R80.20.M2.
Important - Before you upgrade a Multi-Domain Log Server:
Step |
Description |
---|---|

|
2 |
See the Upgrade Options and Prerequisites. |
3 |
You must upgrade your Multi-Domain Servers. |
4 |
You must close all GUI clients (SmartConsole applications) connected to the source Multi-Domain Log Server. |
Workflow:
Step 1 of 12: Get the required Upgrade Tools on the R80.20.M1 / R80.20.M2 Multi-Domain Log Server
Step |
Description |
---|---|
1 |
Download the required Upgrade Tools from sk135172. Note - This is a CPUSE Offline package. |
2 |
Install the required Upgrade Tools with CPUSE. See Installing Software Packages on Gaia and follow the applicable action plan for the local offline installation. |
3 |
Make sure the package is installed. Run this command in the Expert mode:
The output must show the same build number you see in the name of the downloaded package. Example: Name of the downloaded package:

Step 2 of 12: On the R80.20.M1 / R80.20.M2 Multi-Domain Log Server, run the Pre-Upgrade Verifier and export the entire management database
Step |
Description |
---|---|
1 |
Connect to the command line on the current Multi-Domain Log Server. |
2 |
Log in with the superuser credentials. |

8 |
Calculate the MD5 for the exported database files:
|
9 |
Transfer the exported databases from the current Multi-Domain Log Server to an external storage:
Note - Make sure to transfer the file in the binary mode. |
Step 3 of 12: Perform clean install of the new R80.30 Multi-Domain Log Server
Perform the clean install in one of these ways (do not perform initial configuration in SmartConsole):
Important:
The IP addresses of the source and target R80.30 Multi-Domain Log Servers must be the same. If you need to have a different IP address on the R80.30 Multi-Domain Log Server, you can change it only after the upgrade procedure. Note that you have to issue licenses for the new IP address. For applicable procedure, see sk74020.
