Overview
Site Migration allows the administrators to export a site from the current controller to any other controller that has the same version. All the configurations and data of the site will be migrated to the target controller.
The process of migrating configurations and data from a site to another controller can be summarized in three steps: Export Site, Migrate Site and Migrate Devices.
Step1: Export Site
Export the configurations and data of the site to be migrated as a backup file.
Step2: Migrate Site
In the target controller, import the backup file of the original site.
Step3: Migrate Devices
Migrate the devices which are on the original site to the target controller.
Configuration
To migrate a site to anther controller, follow these steps below.
Note:
