Loading Cisco ESA Cluster Config to StandAlone VM

[noumanqazi]

Dear Friends,

I am trying to upgrade two Cisco ESA C170 (Cluster) to C190, Before doing so I want to test the config,

So I am trying to load the existing config to VM.

I copied the config file from the existing ESAC170 and trying to load into VM.

When I tried , it give the message " Can not load the file, Machine is not a part of cluster"

Is any one have any idea to achieve this?

Thanks

A workaround would be to create a standalone cluster of the VM using the same cluster name. (Or a different cluster name and then editing the configuration file to remove the cluster name part of the config).

Since a single machine can be part of a cluster, loading the configuration after the cluster is created would work.

Thanks.

I detached one c170 from cluster and then save the config

I tried to load this into VM but it was giving Ethernet interface error 

c170 is running 10.0.2 

vm is demo version 45 days license

thanks

You would need to edit the configuration file using WordPad or notepad++ preferably and remove the tags starting and ending with ethernet_settings.

This would be required due to the difference in data ports between the physical and virtual appliances.

I tried editing but it is not allowing me to save
Once I save forcefully as a text document then it remove the formatting in the file
Is there any way I may edit and save the file as is

Thanks

Try using notepad++ and saving it as an xml file. That is what I usually use.
