I tried to migrate the Device settings from the old Platform to the new.

I found a lot of information about import the cvs Export from the Classic HM. But it doesn't work like described. With the Auto Provisioning Feature i'm able to import Serialnumber and the Hostname. But we have a fixed Channel mapping on our 600 AP's and i need a possibility to import the fixed Channels for each AP.

Stefan, you should be able to import your database from your on prem classic to NG which would include this. Moving forward the .csv import does not work the way it use to I am hoping they fix it soon.

Hi Dennis,

thanks for your answer. That sounds good.

Can you tell me how to export and re imort the Database?

Do you mean the "Backup Database" at "Home" -> "HiveManager Operations" -> "Backup for Upgrades"

But i don't find the option to import at the Hivemanager NG?

Thanks for your help

Stefan

Stefan, there is a migration document floating around but, that is was I remember doing. I preformed a config only back up for upgrades. Then in my NG instance I selected import VHM. To get to this option you click your username in the top right and then select "global settings" then "VHM Management" you should see "import VHM". You will have to load you licenses into NG and create your network Policy still but, this will be helpful with all of the static channel plans you have.
