How to migrate ONTAP Select deploy tool to a new VM machine
Applies to
NetApp ONTAP Deploy
Description
Since the ONTAP Select deploy tool is not supported to change its management IP, if customer's network environment changes, this tool needs a new IP for running and managing existing ONTAP Select.
Bug # 1083161 RFE: Possibility to change the IP address of the deploy tool after it has been installed.
An alternate method is needed to migrate the tool to a new VM.
ONTAP Select deploy tool provides backup/restore from CLI. It is possible to back up all the existing configurations and restore them to a new deploy tool VM.
Notes:
- Backup and restore deploy tool version must be in the same version.
- The new deploy tool VM must be a blank new VM deployment. If it is configured, even after you delete all the configurations to restore it, the following error will be displayed:
[Request xxx (failure)]: Job failed with error. Configuration restore failed. Reason: This Deploy VM has been used for one or more operations. Deploy VM must be in a newly-initialized state.
