I'm sure there are going to be gotchas. Is there a procedure in
the docs to moving a configuration to a new hardware platform?
I'm assuming that I should install the current version on the new
hardware, get the configuration onto it then upgrade or should I
just install new and go through the configuration by hand?
Last time I switched hardware, I just did a restore to the same
version of pfSense (since old machine was already running latest) and
it prompted me for the new interface names to map to the LAN/WAN/OPT
interfaces. I did it on an isolated LAN (basically a crossover cable
to my laptop.) Once it was up and running, I physically replaced the
old unit.
It should work fine loading a config file from an older version of
pfSense to a newer one. Note however, that the RRD files will not
transfer properly if you switch from 32 to 64 bit, unless you upgrade
the old machine first.
Cool, thank you. so do a backup/restore. interesting.
