<\/span><\/h2>\n-If you’re feeling lucky I’ve noticed that you can actually restore a backup \nfile or snapshot file on different hardware as long as you: \n-Delete “\/etc\/sysconfig\/hwconf” (this is automatically re-created \nduring the reboot) \n-In the case of a snapshot file also delete “\/etc\/modules.conf” \n-Backups don’t contain this file \n-modules.conf controls which drivers are loaded \n-This is be automatically re-created during the reboot \n-Remove the “hwaddr” lines from \/etc\/sysconfig\/netconf.C \n-Reboot \n-You must remove the hwaddr lines since the firewall will use the MAC \naddresses stored in the snapshot\/backup file, not your network card’s \nphysical MAC addresses. You can verify which MAC addresses you’re using \nwith these commands: \nifconfig |grep HWaddr \n-This shows which MACs you’re currently using \ngrep hwaddr \/etc\/sysconfig\/hwconf \n-This should contains your NICs’ physical MAC addresses. If \nin doubt, delete this file, reboot and this file will be automatically \ncreated on startup. \ngrep hwaddr \/etc\/sysconfig\/netconf.C \n-This shows which MACs your server is configured to use. If \nthere are no “hwaddr” lines, then your NIC’s physical MACs will be used. If \nthere are no “hwaddr” lines you can create them by running “cpnetconf \nstore”. \n-To remove the hwaddr lines in “\/etc\/sysconfig\/netconf.C” run these \ncommands:<\/p>\n
