Hi, > Does the Kea Lease Migration support ISC DHCP Failover Lease Files?
The only difference between a non-failover lease file and failover lease file in ISC DHCP, AFAIK, was that there were some extra entries about peers and status. I don't think there was anything in the actual leases themselves, so I imagine the answer would be yes. > > I might have overlooked this in the document for the Lease Migration.

Or is the output intended to be used in the memfile? I don't think the migration assistant itself is capable of that, but the kea-admin tool can transport leases between memfile csv format and database (postgres or mysql): https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/admin.html#the-kea-admin-tool > > Also, I used the Kea Lease Migration and the converted lease file shows all > the leases just fine.

Depending how you installed, Kea may be running as an unprivileged user (such as _kea) who may not have access to the .csv file to read on startup.
