About Migration

InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) 6.5 supports both full and partial migration. Use full migration to restore the system and application settings or to apply current configuration to an IWSVA replacement machine. Perform a partial migration if you want to replace policy and application level configurations.

WARNING!

IWSVA 6.5 does not support migration from another language version of

IWSVA 6.0 SP1, IWSVA 6.0, IWSVA 5.6, IWSVA 5.5, IWSVA 5.1 SP1,



IWSVA 5.1, IWSVA 5.0, IWSVA 3.1, or IWSS 3.1 Linux/Windows 

Before you perform a full migration, make sure the hardware configuration and deployment mode are the same on both the source and target



IWSVA 6.5 machines. 

Trend Micro recommends that you configure the target IWSVA 6.5 machine to use the same IP address as in the backup configuration file

(exported from the source IWSVA 6.5 machine) to prevent unexpected



behavior after a full migration. 

Do NOT connect both IWSVA 6.5 machines to the network simultaneously. Only one IWSVA 6.5 machine should be connected at a time.

The configuration and policy information for the following IWSVA products can be migrated to IWSVA:

• IWSVA 5.6

• IWSVA 6.0

• IWSVA 6.0 SP1

• IWSVA 6.5

Important Notes

• You can export IWSVA configuration to a backup file. Export information includes both system level and application level configuration settings.

• Use the Config Backup & Restore page in the Web console to import the backup file containing the IWSVA 6.5 configuration. A screen displays to prompt you to select either full migration or partial migration.

Overview of the Migration Process

This procedure lists the major steps for both full and partial migration.

Procedure:

1.

Back up previous IWSx settings.

2. Install IWSVA 6.5.

3. Import the previously backed up configuration file to the new IWSVA machine. If you are migrating from a source IWSVA to a target IWSVA 6.5, and both devices are configured in standalone mode, you can choose to perform a full or partial migration. Otherwise, by default, only a partial migration is performed.

4. You can access the Web console to configure new IWSVA 6.5 features.

Note: After the migration process completes, the default settings imported for IWSVA 6.5

 features will apply.

For a list of settings that are not migrated, refer to

Migrating from IWSVA 5.6, 6.0, 6.0 SP1 to

IWSVA 6.5

Note: IWSVA 6.5 only supports partial migration if you want to restore back to a previous

 backup IWSVA 5.6, 6.0, 6.0 SP1 configuration.

IWSVA 6.5 does not support migration from another language version.

Procedure:

1.

Open the Web console of the source IWSVA; then, select Administration >

Configuration Backup & Restore, and then click Export.

The screen displays a progress bar. When the export process is finished, a result page displays the status. If configuration export is successful, IWSVA opens a dialog box to prompt you to save the configuration file to a local disk. Save the file to a local drive on your computer.

2. Open the Web console of the target IWSVA 6.5 machine and then select

Administration > Configuration Backup & Restore from the main menu.

3. Click Browse to select a backup file and then click Import.

Migrating from IWSVA 6.5 to Another IWSVA 6.5

Note: IWSVA 6.5 does not support migration from another language version of IWSVA 6.5.



A full migration from one IWSVA 6.5 device to another IWSVA 6.5 device is only

 supported if both devices are configured in standalone mode.

To perform a full migration, make sure the hardware configuration and deployment mode are the same on both IWSVA machines. Trend Micro also recommends you configure both machines to use the same IP address to prevent unexpected behavior

 after a full migration. 

If the IP address information in the backup file is different from the IP address of the

IWSVA machine to which you want to import the file, the migration results screen will not display. In this case, you can view the migration results in the Audit Log

 screen. 

After a full migration, if the separate management interface is enabled on the source

IWSVA machine, you must use the management IP address of the source IWSVA machine to access the Web console on the target IWSVA 6.5 machine.

Procedure:

1.

Open the Web console of the source IWSVA 6.5 machine and select

Administration > Config Backup/Restore. Then, click Export to back up the configuration.

The screen displays a progress bar. When the export process is finished, a result page displays the status. If the configuration export process is successful, IWSVA opens a dialog box to prompt you to save the configuration file to a local disk. Save the file to a local drive on your computer.

2. Open the Web console of the target IWSVA 6.5 machine and then click

Administration > Config Backup/Restore from the main menu.

3. Click Browse to select a backup file and then click Import.

Note: If you are migrating from a source IWSVA 6.5 to a target IWSVA 6.5, and both devices are configured in standalone mode, you can choose to perform a full or partial migration. Otherwise, by default, only a partial migration is performed.
