Migration from virtual to hw appliance

Hi Dario,

apparently the problem isn't related to the master key but on the modules provisioned to the hardware. Underneath you can find the log from importing the ucs with the hardware running the same version of the VE:

root@(localhost)(cfg-sync Standalone)(ForcedOffline)(/Common)(tmos)# load /sys ucs appf502_07062019_no_pass.ucs no-license platform-migrate 

Replace all configuration on the system? (y/n) y

Hello Luca.

It's important to check your logs to know what part of the process is failing

Hi Dario,

I think the problem is here but I think there is no solution:

Jun 10 09:43:59 appf504.master.local warning mcpd[11039]: 010712e9:4: dag.notifyswitch is not in BigDB.dat.

Jun 10 09:43:59 appf504.master.local err mcpd[11039]: 01b9000f:3: This platform doesn't support DoS hardware capability, which is ne

eded to disable this sys db variable.

Jun 10 09:43:59 appf504.master.local err loaddb[1749]: 01080023:3: Error return while getting reply from mcpd: 0x1b9000f, 01b9000f:3

: This platform doesn't support DoS hardware capability, which is needed to disable this sys db variable.

The problem comes in the release notes
