How to build a new instance of On-Prem Cloudpath without needing a new Activation Code - Cannibalization
Question
How do I deploy a new instance of On-Prem Cloudpath without needing a new Activation-Code?Customer Environment
Any version of On-Prem CloudpathResolution
Sometimes, there is a need to migrate On-Prem Cloudpath to a different VM or to re-deploy as a part of troubleshooting some issue. However, re-deploying Cloudpath would need an Activation-Code from Cloudpath Licensing/Renewals team in order to access it's Web UI and manage it further.As a solution, we can use the process of "Cannibalization" to migrate the database of an existing server to a new server without requiring an Activation Code.
Important points to consider before doing Cannibalization -
- Please take a VM snapshot before proceeding with Cannibalization
- Make sure the existing server and the new server have reachability to each other
After the OVA has been deployed, network configuration is completed, and the system has rebooted, log into the system command line of new server and run the following command -
# maintenance cannibalize <IP address or hostname of existing system>
For example:
# maintenance cannibalize 172.16.4.20
This will export the database from existing server and import into the new server.
At the end of this command, it will prompt you whether you would also like to move the IP address from the existing server to the new server. Choose the desired option and the system will reboot and come up with the imported database.
