Error while migration Access Registrar 5.0 from Solaris to Linux

[pavlosd]

We have recently got the new version of ACS 5.0 and we tried to upgrade and migrate the configuration and database from a solaris to a linux platform (for performance reasons only). We followed the proceedure of backup/restore described below.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/access_registrar/5.0/installation/guide/upgrade.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/access_registrar/5.0/user/guide/dbbackup.html

When we execute the "$INSTALL/bin/keybuild mcddb" command in the Linux Platform, after a while we get the following error:

file size limit exceeded and the database rebuild stops. Note that this command runs as a root and no actual size limitations are applied to room.

Any ideas?

In case someone is interested, I found an alternative to do the migration between different OS, using the mcdadmin command.

Although as Cisco says it shouldn't be used unless "guided" by the support.

To export

mcdadmin -e carconfig.txt

To import

mcdadmin -coi carconfig.txt

Also in CAR 5.0 I found a bug that caused me a few days of headache, in clients definition if you set the Ip address with slash (192.168.0.0/24) or range (192.168.0.1-254), then the aregcmd causes a segmentation fault and dump a core. The alternative is to set individual addresses or set a ip-address: 192.168.0.0 and netmask:255.255.255.0 filed. If you have recent backup you are lucky. If not...

Regards.
