Migrating from SAS3
The Migration Wizard moves data from a SAS3 server to SAS Radius 4: NAS, managers, profiles, prices, users, prepaid cards and card users. Open it from Tools → Maintenance → Import SAS3 Database → Import.
The migration erases the current SAS4 database (users, managers, profiles, NAS, cards, journals, sessions). Use it on a new server, and download a backup first.
Steps
- Take a backup on the SAS3 server and download the gzipped database file.
- In the wizard, click Upload and choose the file.
- Read the warning and click Start.
- Follow the progress: Importing File, Verifying Database, Importing NAS(s), Managers, Profiles, Pricing List, Users (about 500 users per minute), Prepaid Cards, Card Users, Migration Completed.
Check after migration
- NAS: the CoA port is set to 1700. Check it matches your routers.
- Managers get the permission group whose name contains "normal". Set the right group for each manager.
- Profiles are imported as normal profiles. Set again the Expired / Quota / Daily Limit Next Profile links and the Monthly Billing Start Day.
- Users keep their passwords. Users with traffic-limited profiles get a fresh quota.
- Only unused prepaid cards are imported.
- Settings, permission groups and sites are not imported; set them up in SAS4.
If a step fails, the wizard stops with a red mark. Contact Snono support before trying again; the database may already be partly erased.
