To move a DualShield server to a new machine that runs on a different OS from the old machine, you need to install a fresh DualShield server on the new machine, then transfer the DualShield database and some other files from the old machine to the new machine. Below is the guide in steps.

On the new Linux box:

1. Install the latest DualShield server with EXACTLY the same FQDN as the one on the old machine - Please refer to Installation on Linux Console

2. Stop the DualShield service

Code Block
sudo systemctl stop dualshield

Code Block

language	powershell

    cd C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\mysql\bin\
    mysqldump -uroot -p dualshield > c:\dualshield.sql

Copy the database file "dualshield.sql" from the Windows machine to the home folder of the Linux machine, and import it into the database

Run the following commands to import the dualshield.sql file... (for the last command replace [username] with the account name used to log into Linux CLI

Code Block

    cd /opt/dualshield/mysql/bin/
    ./mysql -uroot -p -e "drop database dualshield"
	./mysql -uroot -p -e "create database dualshield DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci"     
	./mysql -uroot -p dualshield < /home/[username]/dualshield.sql

4. Copy the following files from the Windows machine to the home folder of the Linux machine:

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\certs\*.*

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\config\dbenc.jks

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\config\storeconf.xml

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\config\server-uuid

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\config\location.properties

C:\Program Files\Deepnet DualShield\jre\lib\security\cacerts

5. 'cd' back to your home folder and copy the files from the home folder to inside the Dualshield installation folder

Code Block

sudo cp -r certs /opt/dualshield/certs
sudo cp -r dbenc.jks /opt/dualshield/config/dbenc.jks
sudo cp -r storeconf.xml /opt/dualshield/config/storeconf.xml
sudo cp -r server-uuid /opt/dualshield/config/server-uuid
sudo cp -r location.properties /opt/dualshield/config/location.properties

6. Edit the storeconf.xml file...

Code Block
sudo nano /opt/dualshield/config/storeconf.xml

and change the store location to..

Code Block
/opt/dualshield/config/dbenc.jks

e.g.

7. Import the cacerts file. Run the following commands, but ignore the warnings about the JKS store using a proprietary format.
