I was attempting to upgrade my UTM9 by way of a new VM, config export and import. The platform is a vCloud Director vAPP (VMWare) provided by UK Cloud.
The environment has 7 VLANs and I created a VM with 8 NICs. These NICs were numbered sequentially with NIC7 being a test network to allow me to browse to the default IP of the UTM9. NICs 0-6 were replicated from the Old VM.
When running the VM setup, I picked ETH7 as the NIC to use for management based on my assumption that this would map to NIC7 in VMWare. I then found that I was unable to access the UTM9 on the address specified.
I then deleted and recreated the storage and then found that there was a function key to drop me to BASH. upon using IFCONFIG I noted that the MAC for NIC7 in VMWare and ETH7 in Sophos UTM were different and then I realised what the issue was. THe NIC in the UTM that was on my management LAN was not 7 but 3.
My query is, can I be sure that a configuration exported from my old UTM9 into my new one will work correctly and the right NICs will be assigned to the right networks?
