If you want to migrate settings and images from one appliance to another, you can easily do that using the Appliance Migration Wizard. This is useful, for example, when you want to quickly move the data between virtual appliances.
NOTE: You must enable linking on both the source and destination appliance, however you do not need to configure the appliance connections. The Appliance Migration Wizard connects the appliances and disconnects them after the migration. For more information about appliance linking, see Enable appliance linking. |
The Appliance Migration Wizard allows you to easily move settings and images from one appliance to another. The migration does not work on the associated Remote Site Appliances (RSA). However, any links to the RSAs associated with the source appliance are migrated to the destination appliance. The source and destination appliances must be on the same version. The migration process overwrites all data on the destination appliance and replaces it with those from the source appliance. The host name, IP address and license key of the destination appliance are not affected by the migration.

Ensure that appliance linking is enabled on each appliance. You can enable appliance linking on the KACE Linking page, or by using the link in the Appliance Migration Wizard. For complete information about appliance linking, see Linking Quest KACE appliances. |
NOTE: While it is mandatory to enable appliance linking before you start the migration process, you do not need to actually link the source and destination appliances. The Appliance Migration Wizard connects the appliances and disconnects them after the migration. |
