Uploading the 3.9 Backup File
To upload a Guest 3.9 configuration to W-ClearPass Guest 6.x:
1. Upgrade your 3.9 system to the latest 3.9.x monthly patch.
2. Deploy your 6.x system, and upgrade it to the latest 6.x monthly patch.
3. In your 3.9 system, make a complete configuration backup. For details on how to back up your system,
refer to the "Backup and Restore" section in the "Administrator Tasks" chapter of your "ClearPass Guest 3.9
Deployment Guide."
Be sure to use the Complete backup option in your 3.9 system's Backup Mode drop-down list to ensure that
references between items are properly migrated. Partial imports might not work as expected.
4. In your 6.x system, go to Administration > Import Configuration. The Import Configuration: Step 1
page opens with the Upload File form displayed.
5. If your file does not exceed the 15.0 MB size limit, you can use this Upload File form to browse to the
location where you stored your 3.9 backup file. To use the Upload File form, click the Browse button in the
Backup File row to navigate to and select the backup file you want to restore.
If your file is larger than the maximum file upload size of 15.0 MB, you must specify a URL instead. Click the
Restore a backup from a URL link above the Upload File form. The Specify Backup File form is
displayed. Enter the URL for the backup file.
6. Click Continue. The backup file is uploaded to your 6.x system, making the items available for import, and
the Import Configuration: Step 2 page opens.
